Give to the Max Day 2024

Give to the Max and end hunger on November 21!

Join us on November 21 for Give to the Max Day—Minnesota’s biggest giving day of the year—and help meet Second Harvest Heartland’s goal of providing over 2 million meals! Every donation makes a difference.

Starting November 1, your gift can DOUBLE in impact! Every $1 you give now can go twice as far to provide 6 meals for neighbors facing hunger, thanks to matching funds from Post Consumer Brands, Gopher Medical, The Mosaic Company and other generous sponsors. 

Hunger is on the rise in Minnesota. Give to the Max Day—and the support provided by friends like you—plays a huge part in making sure we have the resources to help our neighbors get the food they need to thrive. 

It’s a hard time for families right now. The cost of living, housing, employment, health and other factors all contribute to over half a million people in Minnesota facing hunger and more than 50% of people nationwide living paycheck to paycheck.

Too many Minnesotans are one flat tire or medical bill away from an empty fridge. And with Thanksgiving just around the corner, more and more neighbors are looking to Second Harvest Heartland and our hunger-relief partners for help getting food on the table. 

No matter what’s going on in the world, you can make a tangible impact today in your community. Give for Good—and help reach our 2 million meal goal—by:

  • Making a donation now to Second Harvest Heartland on our Give to the Max Day page. Your gift can be matched now through November 21 thanks to our generous sponsors and your donation can be eligible for a Golden Ticket!
  • Starting a fundraiser and inviting your friends and family to help. It’s easy and their gift can be matched! Get started by visiting our Give to the Max Day page and clicking the “Fundraise” button.
  • Volunteering at Pack to the Max. November 21 is also an all-day food sorting and packing event at our volunteer center in Brooklyn Park. Learn more and register for a shift here. 
  • Joining us for “BeerGo” bingo night at Luce Line Brewing from 6:30–8:30 p.m. and wrap-up a day filled with community generosity. Participants pay $1 per card to play 10 rounds of bingo and can donate as well. 100% of proceeds and donations will go toward our Give to the Max Day goal!

Whichever way you choose to Give for Good, your support will help provide much-needed meals for local kids, families and seniors this holiday season. Together, we can get one step closer to ending hunger.

Keep up on the day’s excitement on our Facebook, Instagram and LinkedIn channels.
