Tuesday, November 17 is “Give to the Max Day” on GiveMN, and that means your donations will be matched when made through our fundraising page on the GiveMN website.

The Saint Paul Foundation, Minneapolis Foundation and Bush Foundation have committed $500,000 in matching contributions to support community needs in Minnesota and to cover transaction fees so that 100% of all donations go to participating nonprofit organizations!

All you need to do is click here to visit the Second Harvest Heartland fundraising page on GiveMN. Donations made between 8:00 AM on Tuesday, November 17 and 8:00 AM Wednesday, November 18 will be matched!

Important: Donations made through our website will not be matched. You must make your donation via GiveMN to be eligible. Make your gift now!

The Minnesota Vikings Children’s Fund, KS95 and Second Harvest Heartland thank all who participated in our Decorate a Plate/Share a Meal activity August 30th at the Minnesota State Fair!

Five lucky winners–Madison, Sally, Savannah, Briana and Kelsey–had their plates selected and  turned into actual dinner plates. Signed by Adrian Peterson, Percy Harvin and more Minnesota Vikings, the plates will be offered for silent auction during the Taste of the NFL event tonight. Proceeds from Taste of the NFL will help expand the Vikings Children’s Fund Summer Lunch program in 2010.

Congratulations to our lucky winners–and thanks for “stepping up to the plate” and helping ensure other kids in the community have enough to eat next summer.
