Members of CVC gathered on Friday, February 10, 2023, to volunteer at Second Harvest Heartland in Brooklyn Park.
The morning started off with networking, free coffee and donuts and in person conversation which was welcomed by all. The group then started their volunteer experience by learning more about hunger and the needs in MN. Did you know 1 in 11 kids don’t have regular access to the nutrition needed to thrive?

Providing mentorship to young people in our community is one of the most important ways to volunteer. Local nonprofit BestPrep’s program, Cloud Coach, impacted more than 2,000 students in Minneapolis and St. Paul with the help of 2,000 volunteers during the 2021-2022 school year.
Lead Volunteer Opportunities: 9/11 Day of Service and Remembrance
HandsOn Twin Cities is looking for a group of motivated, service-oriented volunteers to help orchestrate a large-scale hunger relief event on Monday, 9/12/22.

Other event locations include New York City, Atlanta, Boston, Chicago, Dallas, Los Angeles, Phoenix, St. Louis, San Francisco, and others.
It's time to jump into action! Greater Twin Cities United Way is bringing together community changemakers for our annual Action Day initiative to provide backpacks full of school supplies for 50,000 local students!
Each year, more than 100,000 greater Twin Cities students return to school without essential school supplies to support their work in the classroom.
Thank you to everyone who had the opportunity to join us at the 2022 Annual Celebration!
We hope you enjoyed every moment of the event in being able to network, visit the volunteer fair organizations, and be inspired by our presentation and special guest, Justice Alan Page.
Volunteer Opportunities: Meals on Wheels Volunteers
Brighten someone’s day with a meal and a smile!
Join Greater Twin Cities United Way for Flavors of Our Community – a food initiative focused on increasing access to culturally specific food items at local food shelves.
Our community is home to many cultures with a variety of meaningful foods and flavors. It is important that our neighbors experiencing food insecurity have access to foods and spices that are familiar and significant to their culture. In partnership with local nonprofits, Greater Twin Cities United Way developed 7 pantry packs.
Feed My Starving Children was open for volunteering at all eight of its permanent packing facilities where over 1900 volunteers packed meals for 2 hours on this MLK Day of Service. These volunteers were able to pack enough food to provide a FMSC meal a day for a year to over 1,100 children in countries like Nicaragua, Uganda and Haiti.
