The Society of St. Andrew brings people together to harvest and share healthy food, reduce food waste, and build caring communities by offering nourishment to hungry neighbors.

Developing community-based grassroots gleaning networks, SoSA leverages volunteer labor to pick, dig, or gather fresh produce remaining in fields after commercial harvest, providing a “no regrets” solution benefiting the environment by reducing food waste; farmers through tax benefits; volunteers through opportunities to make a difference in their community; feeding agencies through receiving zero-cost healthy produce for their clients; and low-income, asset limited persons with nourishing food to eat. SoSA has four decades’ experience, with a proven track record across multiple states, and already recovers and distributes 20-30 million pounds of food each year, at a cost of 10-12¢ per pound.
