Societyof St.
Andrew, Virginia
The national headquarters for
the Society of St. Andrew is in
Big Island, near Lynchburg,
Virginia. The Big Island office
serves as the Regional Office
for our Virginia operations.
The Society of St. Andrew has
delivered nearly
22.3 million
pounds of salvaged potatoes and
other food to the needy in
Virginia through the Potato and Produce Project. This has resulted in
approximately
66.9 million
servings of food going to
Virginia's hungry.
The Society of St. Andrew
operates a statewide,
volunteer-driven Gleaning
Network in
Virginia that
coordinates with local farmers,
thousands of volunteers, and
food providing agencies.
Through the Virginia Gleaning
Network, we coordinate each year
thousands of volunteers in six
local areas who enter fields
after farmers have finished
harvesting and simply pick up
the tons of edible produce left
behind. Our volunteers represent
groups from various church
denominations, synagogues, youth
groups, other civic
organizations, and inner city
residents. We annually glean
over a million pounds of a wide
variety of produce in Virginia.
Please join us in this
exciting hands-on ministry.
