Second Harvest Heartland shares need for volunteers
The Minnesota nonprofit offers a chance to give back to your community.
BROOKLYN PARK, Minn. — Anything can be fun when you do it with friends.
That’s what our KARE 11 Sunrise team found out when they took a group to volunteer at Second Harvest Heartland in Brooklyn Park.
The team packed food that will be later offered to seniors, adults, families and kids through the nonprofit’s variety of nutrition programs.
Second Harvest Heartland has hosted more than 16,000 volunteers at their food banks in Minnesota and Wisconsin. For more information on volunteering, click here.

EDINA, Minn. — One lucky player may or may not already know they’re sitting on a $2 million Mega Millions lottery ticket.
According to the Minnesota Lottery, the ticket was sold at a Holiday Stationstore in Edina for the Sept. 27 drawing. The organization said the ticket matched the first five winning numbers — worth $1 million.
But the fun didn’t stop there – because the player added the Megaplier option, the winnings were multiplied by the Megaplier number drawn (2), doubling their earnings.
The winner has one year from the drawing date to claim their prize at lottery headquarters in Roseville. Unless they choose to be named publicly, Minnesota law states anyone who wins more than $10,000 has the option to remain anonymous.
The next drawing takes place Tuesday, Oct. 1. The jackpot is estimated to be worth $93 million.
