Alabama

The Society of St. Andrew has delivered a total of 9.1 million pounds of salvaged potatoes and other food to the needy in Alabama through the Potato Project. This has resulted in approximately 27.3 million servings of food going to Alabama's hungry.

Gleaning in Alabama

The Society of St. Andrew operates a volunteer-driven Gleaning Network in Alabama that coordinates with local farmers, hundreds of volunteers, and food providing agencies.  The Alabama Gleaning Network includes hundreds of volunteers who save millions of pounds of fresh produce every year and use it to feed hungry people all across the state.

Through the Alabama Gleaning Network, we coordinate volunteers in many areas of the state who actually enter fields after farmers have finished harvesting and simply pick up the tons of good produce left behind. Our volunteers represent groups from various church denominations, synagogues, youth groups, other civic organizations, individuals, and inner city residents.

Each year we coordinate hundreds of volunteers to glean nearly hundreds of thousands of pounds of a variety of produce in Alabama. Please join us in this exciting hands-on ministry.
The Regional Office in Birmingham coordinates gleaning throughout the state in conjunction with the Hunger Relief Advocate office located in Pensacola, Florida that covers the southern portion of Alabama and West Florida.
