Thank you for considering volunteering your time with MATTER, we would love to host you! Volunteer opportunities open as needed.

MATTER serves communities within the Twin Cities and across the world. The Volunteer Kit is part of MATTER's Healthy Eating Initiative, bringing healthy snacks to kids and families in need. Our Volunteer Kits offer an experience for individuals or groups to sponsor a box and assemble individual snack packs from anywhere to distribute in their local communities.
So how can you help? We need volunteers to help us assemble the raw contents of a Volunteer Kit at our warehouse in St. Louis Park, MN. To see a MATTER Volunteer Kit in action, please take a minute to watch this video
