Mississippi

The Society of St. Andrew has delivered a total of over one million pounds of salvaged potatoes and other food to the needy in Mississippi through our Potato Project. This has resulted in about three million servings of food going to Mississippi's hungry.

Gleaning in Mississippi

The Society of St. Andrew operates a volunteer-driven Gleaning Network in Mississippi that includes volunteers who save fresh produce every year and use it to feed hungry people all across the state.

Through the Mississippi 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.
