Bring energy and enthusiasm to one of the evening’s most interactive fundraising experiences.
As a Gift Card Game Volunteer at Dish, Second Harvest Heartland’s premier gala, you’ll help create a fun and engaging guest experience by encouraging participation in a lively pay-to-play game where everyone wins. Working in pairs, you’ll circulate the auction area, connect with guests, track purchases using a retail tablet, and ensure all gift cards are accounted for.

What You'll Do:
- Circulate the auction/game area with a partner to promote the gift card game
- Encourage guests to participate and explain how the game works
- Record purchases using a retail tablet
- Ensure accurate tracking and return all remaining gift cards in partnership with your lead volunteer
What’s You’ll Gain:
- A guest-facing role at a meaningful and mission-driven event
- Training and guidance provided at the start of your shift
- A chance to connect with fellow volunteers and community members
- Complimentary meal, snacks, and parking voucher
