Second Harvest Heartland

Second Harvest Heartland is a leading hunger-relief organization. In partnership with more than 1,000 food shelves and hunger-relief programs in Minnesota and western Wisconsin, we provided more than 143 million meals to neighbors last year. We also help families enroll in food assistance and provide prepared meals for people who need more than groceries. Second Harvest Heartland is a leader, convener and voice in hunger-related policy discussions.

Our work is about so much more than moving food. It’s about making families whole again. It’s about helping those in crisis find stability.

It’s about relieving the stress of an empty fridge for parents, making sure kids have the food they need to learn in school, and giving seniors a chance to stretch their dollars every month.

It's about meeting community needs and bringing stability to hungry households.

Our impact goes far beyond a generous box of nutritious groceries.

We’re here to advocate for systematic change, innovate the way we source and distribute food, and empower our community to provide healthy food where it’s needed most.
