MONTHLY GIVING

Help ensure our neighbors have the food they need to thrive year-round by joining the Harvest Circle, a community of monthly donors committed to ending hunger together.

Join the Harvest Circle – Our Community of Monthly Donors

The Harvest Circle is a community of monthly donors committed to ending hunger year-round. By providing a consistent, reliable source of funding throughout the year, Harvest Circle donors help ensure that our neighbors across Minnesota and western Wisconsin have access to nourishing food, when and where they need it most.

Signing up is simple.

You choose the amount of your hunger-relief donation. At the same time each month, your donation will be automatically deducted from your bank account or billed to your credit card. You can change, skip, or cancel your monthly contribution at any time using the online Monthly Giving Hub or by calling our Donor Relations team at 651-209-7950. .

The Power of Monthly Giving

As a member of the Harvest Circle, your ongoing monthly contribution is one of the most efficient and effective ways to support hunger relief in our community: 

  1. Help end hunger year-round. No matter the amount, your monthly commitment can make a huge impact in our community.  
  2. Set it and forget it. Through the Harvest Circle, your financial donation deducts automatically each month from your checking account or bills to your credit/debit card. There’s nothing to remember or do.
  3. Maximize your contribution. Your monthly tax-deductible contribution helps us put more dollars directly into food aid by cutting down on processing time and paperwork.  
  4. Plan for the future. Ongoing monthly gifts sustain hunger-relief work and help us plan for what’s ahead. It’s support we can depend on every month of the year, to ensure our neighbors have enough to eat.
  5. Become a leader. When you make a monthly gift of $84 or more, you'll join our Leadership Circle.

 

“Hunger isn't just a one-time event for so many, so we want to support Second Harvest Heartland year-round. It's so easy and we don't have to remember if we donated or not each year!”

- Kate, Monthly Giver
