The Society of St. Andrew has
delivered a total of
3.8 million
pounds of salvaged potatoes and
other food to the needy in the
state of Georgia through the
Potato and Produce Project. This has
resulted in approximately
11.4
million servings of food going
to Georgia's hungry.
Our regional
gleaning office in Tifton
was made
possible thanks to a
grant from the St. Marys United
Methodist Church Foundation,
Inc. We look forward to a
bountiful gleaning ministry in
this agriculturally rich state
and hope to help alleviate many
of the hunger problems
experienced by Georgians. The
Society of St. Andrew operates a
volunteer-driven Gleaning
Network in Georgia that includes
volunteers who save fresh
produce every year and use it to
feed hungry people all across
the state.
Through the Georgia Gleaning
Network, we coordinate
volunteers in many areas of the
state who 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.
