Society of Saint Andrews

The Society of St. Andrew is an ecumenical Christian ministry dedicated to meeting both spiritual and physical hungers. SOSA feeds the hungry all year long by saving fresh produce that would otherwise go to waste and giving it to the needy.

SOSA accomplishs this through three operating programs, the Potato Project, the Gleaning Network, and Harvest of Hope.

These innovatives and cost effective methods enable us to provide food to the hungry for about a penny per serving! That means that for $25, 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 adheres to Christian principles of good stewardship. Therefore, more than 95% of all funds raised by the Society of St. Andrew is spent on the direct delivery of food and services to the hungry.

Through the Outreach Ministry Area at White Plains UMC, we support SOSA financially and with physical support through gleaning.  To volunteer your Sunday School Class or Small Group Ministry to 'go gleaning for the hungry' or for more information, visit SOSA's North Carolina Regional webpage by clicking here endhunger.org/north_carolina.

We envision a world in which physical and spiritual hungers are met through God's grace and abundance.

The Society of St. Andrew introduces people to God's grace in Jesus Christ through meeting their hungers:

Food for the body
God's word for the spirit
Community of love for the heart
Opportunity for those who desire action
