Your donation provides hungry people access to fresh, nutritious produce – something they can’t easily afford, but desperately need to ensure their health and well-being. Thank you for being supportive of the mission to end hunger and prevent food waste!
Donate by Credit/Debit Card
Donate with confidence using the secure, online donation form. You can make it a one-time gift or select recurring to make periodic donations. When you select recurring, determine the frequency that best suits your goals.
Would you like to designate your gift in memory of someone special? Or in honor of a special occasion? Check the “I would like to dedicate this donation” box and provide additional information.
Every 3¢ donated provides 1 serving of food. That means a $1 donation provides 35 servings of food for a family in need.
Make It A Monthly Gift
Interested in a smaller, recurring, monthly donation to share good food every month?
A $12 donation is enough to feed a family their recommended servings of fruits and veggies for an entire month.
For every $1 you put into the mission to end hunger, 96¢ goes directly into rescuing food and delivering it to communities and families who need it the most.

How Your Donations Are Used
The largest expense in the mission is appropriate packaging and safe transportation from the farm fields to the dinner plates.
This is just one of the many reasons we try to keep the food as local as possible. Often, food is delivered to families within 24 hours of being harvested or gleaned from the fields. It doesn’t get much fresher than that!

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.
In the event I, or a registered family member, suffers any illness or accident requiring emergency hospitalization, medication, or other medical assistance while participating in a gleaning event, permission is given for any medical treatment which is deemed necessary and reasonable under the circumstances. I fully understand and comprehend that reasonable care will be exercised by the adult staff for this gleaning event to protect the safety of those involved. I understand that the field supervisor’s instructions must be followed at all times, and that I am responsible for any damages caused to fields, farms, or equipment by me/my family members not following these instructions.
Photos, videos, and other images in which I, or a registered family member, appear that are taken during gleanings may be used by the Society of St. Andrew for news coverage, newsletters, reports, displays, and for other print, broadcast, web, or electronic news or promotional purposes.
I do not hold the board, members, or employees of the Society of St. Andrew (SoSA,) or any volunteers liable for injury, bodily harm, accidents, or death of myself/my child during events sponsored by the Society of St. Andrew. Neither will I hold the person(s) who owns and/or operates the property from which we glean, salvage, or to which we deliver food, liable for accidents, injury, or death during the gleanings or other SoSA events.
