The Society of St. Andrew (SoSA) is a United Methodist hunger-relief nonprofit focusing on food wastage and poverty-induced starvation. The organization takes produce donations and serves them in SoSA-run distribution programs such as the Gleaning Network, Harvest of Hope, and the Seed Potato Project.
Gleaning is the Biblical practice of hand-gathering crops left in the fields after harvest.[3][4][5] Society of St. Andrew staff coordinate volunteers, growers, and distribution agencies to provide food based on said practice, as their produce is mostly donated from farmers.
