Tennessee Gleaning Network
Society of St. Andrew’s Tennessee Regional Office was established in 2010 to coordinate the state’s gleaning network. Since that time, SoSA has rescued and shared an average of one million pounds of food per year.

SoSA’s Tennessee Gleaning Network coordinates volunteers across the state who rescue food at farms, farmers markets, and even processing facilities. Volunteers harvest food straight from farm fields when growers are done for the season, collect food that hasn’t sold, or package and distribute unmarketable but good produce (“ugly” food).
