Event Overview:

Dish is Second Harvest Heartland’s premier gala, which plays a crucial role in our mission to end hunger. The 22nd annual event is planned for Saturday, October 11, 2025. A preeminent gala in the Twin Cities, we look forward to hosting Dish at The Depot. The Dish Gala promises to feature a delightful evening filled with entertainment, live and silent auctions, games, a plated dinner, and a variety of ways to support Second Harvest Heartland.   

We invite you to be a special part of this memorable event by volunteering your time for one or more shifts. Volunteers at Dish offer support in a variety of ways, from venue setup and silent auction organization to guest engagement and merchandise packing. We hope you’ll consider joining Second Harvest Heartland staff and the community for this impactful evening!
