A Christian ministry dedicated to gleaning America’s fields and feeding America’s hungry, we provide healthy, nutritious produce to society’s most vulnerable through innovative, cost effective programs.

We accomplish our mission through three programs:  the Potato Project, the Gleaning Network, and Harvest of Hope.

Our innovative and cost effective methods enable us to provide food to the hungry for just pennies per serving! That means that for under $50, the Society of St. Andrew can provide a person the USDA recommended requirement of vegetables and fruits for an entire year.

The Society of St. Andrew is unique among hunger relief organizations for many reasons. Here are just four things that set us apart:

1. We supply fresh fruits and vegetables vital for nutrition rather than high caloric “filler food” to our society’s most vulnerable. That means we are helping to improve their health and well-being as well as giving them full stomachs.

2. Unlike many organizations, we don’t charge handling fees. We provide fresh, nutritious food to agencies serving the poor at no cost to them, which helps them stretch their already tight budgets.

3. We build community by bringing people together in farmers' fields or around "dumped" loads of potatoes to work collectively in the cause of helping their needy neighbors.

4. We recognize the spiritual component of helping others and therefore offer a variety of education programs, Bible studies, and seasonal devotions designed to feed people's spiritual hungers as they help feed the physical hunger of others.

The Society of St. Andrew adheres to Christian principles of good stewardship. Therefore, about 93% of all funds raised by the Society of St. Andrew is spent on the direct delivery of food and services to the hungry. See our finances page.
