State Distribution Report

The Potato and Produce Project was established in 1983 and salvages and distributes about 10 million pounds of potatoes and other fresh fruits and vegetables each year. The Gleaning Network is active in many states and saves and distributes another 15-20 million pounds per year.

We operate in all the 48 contiguous states and the District of Columbia. Since its inception, we have distributed food through our Potato and Produce Project and Gleaning Network into these states in the amounts shown here.

How the Story of the 12 Baskets is Connected to SoSA’s Name

Matthew 14:16-21

But Jesus said to them, “They do not need to go away; you give them something to eat!” They said to Him, “We have here only five loaves and two fish.” And He said, “Bring them here to Me.” Ordering the people to sit down on the grass, He took the five loaves and the two fish, and looking up toward heaven, He blessed the food, and breaking the loaves He gave them to the disciples, and the disciples gave them to the crowds, and they all ate and were satisfied. They picked up what was left over of the broken pieces, twelve full baskets. There were about five thousand men who ate, besides women and children.

2 Kings 4:42-44

[…]the man of God […] said, “Give them to the people that they may eat.” His attendant said, “What, will I set this before a hundred men?” But he said, “Give them to the people that they may eat, for thus says the Lord, ‘They shall eat and have some left over.’” So he set it before them, and they ate and had some left over, according to the word of the Lord.
