Society of St. Andrew - Mississippi

Society of St. Andrew - Mississippi The Society of St. Andrew feeds poor and hungry families across Mississippi and Arkansas with fresh fruits and vegetables that would have been wasted.

SoSA began in 1979 in the hills of Virginia and has grown into the largest field gleaning organization in the country. Working in a collaborative effort with thousands of farmers, tens of thousands of volunteers, and thousands of feeding programs in all 48 contiguous states, SoSA provides healthy food to those who have little or no access to it. This nutritious, but excess, bounty is sent directly from the point of surplus (field or packing facility) to food banks or feeding programs that share it with people in greatest need. Our remarkable and efficient programs have proven extremely successful at providing nutritious food to those who need it most.

Peak harvest season is in high gear, and field-fresh food is ready to move. But it takes logistics, labor, and leadership to get it from farms to forks.

Join us this TOMORROW for Match the Need Day! Every dollar raised supports immediate operations, and every dollar matched (up to $49,000!) goes straight into our endowment.

Nourish a neighbor today. Build a hunger-free tomorrow. 🌾❤️
