Floods / Food / Feeding the Hungry SoSA is in it for the long haul So far this year the Society of St. Andrew has delivered over half a million pounds of fresh produce, consisting mostly of potatoes, into midwest states currently suffering for devastating floods. Six tractor-trailer loads have gone to regional food banks serving areas of Illinois, Indiana, Kansas, Missouri and Ohio. Eight tractor-trailer loads were received by churches in these states where volunteers bagged the potatoes then delivered them to local food banks, church pantries, shelters, soup kitchens and other service agencies that feed the hungry. This food has provided 1.8 million servings of nutritious food to those in need in the Midwest. Throughout the year, the Society of St. Andrew delivers food to areas of need across the nation – rain or shine. As it becomes available, SoSA will be shipping even more food into the Midwest to help alleviate hunger. Nationally, SoSA has saved nearly eight million pounds of fresh food so far this year, providing about 24 million servings to those in need around the country. You can
