“Today we had the privilege of volunteering with Harvest Pack, as an activity at the volunteer program for pro-baseball. As a family member we couldn't miss this opportunity to help, even for my 7 year old daughter, it was an incredibly rewarding experience. From the moment we arrived, the atmosphere was full of energy and purpose. Together, we packaged thousands of nutritious meals that will make a real difference for families facing hunger.
What stood out most was how well-organized and hands-on the event was—everyone had a role, and it was inspiring to see the players and staff from all walks of life come together for such an important cause. In just a few hours, we achieved something that will impact entire communities.
If you’re looking for a meaningful way to give back, I highly encourage you to get involved with Harvest Pack. Whether you volunteer your time, donate, or help organize a packing event, you’ll be directly contributing to fighting food insecurity. It’s a chance to connect with others, build teamwork, and know your efforts truly matter.”

“Visiting the Armed Forces Service Center at Minneapolis-St. Paul International Airport was an uplifting and memorable experience. Designed as a safe haven for active-duty military personnel, veterans, and their families, the center offers a warm and welcoming atmosphere.
The space is thoughtfully set up with comfortable seating, quiet rooms for rest, and amenities like free Wi-Fi, snacks, and beverages. What stood out to me was the attention to detail—there were even personal care items available for those who might need them. The staff, many of whom are volunteers, were incredibly kind and eager to assist with any needs, making the experience feel very personal and supportive.
Whether you’re waiting for a flight or just passing through, the center provides a peaceful respite from the bustling airport environment. It’s clear that the Armed Forces Service Center is more than just a lounge; it’s a heartfelt gesture of gratitude and support for those who serve. It’s a place that truly makes you feel appreciated and cared for.”

“Beautiful little shop had everything we needed for the brownies.. the only issue I had was either the computer/register system needs to be updated. It was giving the ladies a very hard time trying to ring us up..”
“Was cleaning out old engineering and Safety books after retiring. Didnt want to throw them out as there was still a lot of good information there. Was told that Books for Africa took them and shipped them over to Africa by the container. For example they have sent 400 containers to EthiopiaThey ask for a 50 cent donation per book to help cover the cost of shipping but I was so happy to have the books put to good use I gave more.Great charity!”
“Just had a great bag lunch... Just what we needed!! Thank you for being there when we needed it... A very unexpected but delightful lunch!! God bless you for all you do!!”
“Awesome team and great staff. I've been volunteering here a bit and I love the work that they do. Wish there were more organizations like this in the community.”
“Everyone was super friendly and the shop was well lit and well stocked. They have a lot of supplies for every odd and end you could think of. I bought a couple rubber stamps and only spent 16¢ ! It's great to go to a place that actually can save me money”
