Join BVN volunteers to help sort, inspect, and package various food items that will be distributed to communities throughout our 16-county service area
Join United Way of Dane County Business Volunteer Network (BVN) to volunteer at Second Harvest Foodbank of Southern Wisconsin! Second Harvest believes that everyone in our community should have equal access to nutritious, affordable and culturally-meaningful food. BVN will come together on Friday, April 24, 8:30 - 11:30 am to help sort, inspect and package various food items that will be distributed to those facing hunger in our community. When Dane County families have access to affordable, nutritious food, our whole community is healthier and stronger.
