Dear Second Harvest Heartland Volunteers,  

   

Happy new year! Thank you for your role in making hunger history during the last year. More than 16,00 volunteers like you gave more than 53,000 hours of their time and talents to help us end hunger together. That's the equivalent of nearly 26 full-time employees! Wow!   

   

I appreciate the time and smarts you dedicated and all the enthusiasm and positive energy you brought to our organization in 2023. From packing food in our Volunteer Center, to helping neighbors apply for SNAP, picking up final mile food donations, handing out food boxes to seniors, assisting with special projects or pro bono work and everything else in-between, it all makes a difference in the fight against hunger. We couldn't do this work without you.  

    

Thank you, thank you, thank you!
