9/11 Day is the nation’s largest annual day of charitable engagement, officially recognized under federal law. 9/11 Day organizers chose meal packing not only because September is Hunger Action Month, but because food insecurity is an issue that transcends geography, nationality, age, and background - impacting families in every community, across the United States. Meal packing is also a simple, scalable, family-friendly activity, allowing for groups of all sizes, and people of all ages and abilities to participate in our events. The events are committed to distributing meals within the communities in which they’re packed, ensuring an immediate and powerful impact for food insecure families. In the Twin Cities area, we expect to engage over 1,000 volunteers from area corporations to pack more than 185,000 meals for hungry families living locally.
Know Before You Go
Masks or cloth face coverings are optional for visitors to the Minneapolis Convention Center. Individual events at the MCC may still institute individual mask and/or vaccine/testing requirements. For more information on MCC health & safety protocols, please go here.
Accessibility
Accessible design benefits all of us at some point in our lives. The goal of MCC’s accessible design is to provide equal use of the building for all people including those who use wheelchairs, canes, mobility scooters and those with vision and hearing impairments. Specifically, the facility includes locations for easy curbside drop-off along 2nd Ave., automatic building entrances, automatic 3rd Ave. Parking Ramp doors, power assist doors, and wheelchair-accessible elevators and bathrooms.
Guest Services and Security
At the Minneapolis Convention Center, we believe the great experience you provide in your events should be extended to attendees even after the meeting is done. That's why we offer high-quality services to ensure your attendees make the best of their experience in Minneapolis.
