Virginia

The national headquarters for the Society of St. Andrew is in Big Island, near Lynchburg, Virginia.  The Big Island office serves as the Regional Office for our Virginia operations.

The Society of St. Andrew has delivered nearly 39 million pounds of salvaged potatoes and other food to the needy in Virginia through the Potato Project. This has resulted in approximately 117 million servings of food going to Virginia's hungry.

Gleaning in Virginia

The Society of St. Andrew operates a statewide, volunteer-driven Gleaning Network in Virginia that coordinates with local farmers, thousands of volunteers, and food providing agencies.

Through the Virginia Gleaning Network, we coordinate each year thousands of volunteers in six local areas who enter fields after farmers have finished harvesting and simply pick up the tons of edible produce left behind.  Our volunteers represent groups from various church denominations, synagogues, youth groups, other civic organizations, and inner city residents. We annually glean over a million pounds of a wide variety of produce in Virginia.

Please join us in this exciting hands-on ministry.
