Gleaning America's Fields ~ Feeding America's Hungry

 

 
Welcome to America's Premier Food Salvage Ministry
The Society of St. Andrew is a grassroots hunger relief ministry that relies on volunteers to glean nutritious produce from farmers' fields and orchards after harvest and deliver it to people in need across the United States. 
We take our name from the biblical disciple Andrew who was always introducing others to our Lord. Most notably, Andrew played a crucial role in the feeding of the 5,000 when he brought the boy with five barley loaves and two small fish to Jesus, which he multiplied to feed the crowd.

Our innovative and cost effective methods enable us to provide food to the hungry for just pennies per serving! That means that for under $100, the Society of St. Andrew can provide a person the USDA recommended requirement of vegetables and fruits for an entire year.

Programs
The Potato & Produce Project  
The Society of St. Andrew's Potato & Produce Project salvages truck-loads of unmarketable potatoes and other produce donated by members of the agricultural community. This perfectly edible food is then delivered to agencies that serve the poor.
The Gleaning Network  
Our Gleaning Network uses volunteers to glean nutritious produce from farmers' fields and orchards after the harvest. This food instead of being left behind to rot is delivered to those in need.
Harvest of Hope  
Harvest of Hope is our education program. It is designed to inform people about the hunger problem while encouraging them to make lifelong commitments to becoming part of the solution.
