When donating to SoSa, I am assured that the monies will be wisely used to help those who find it difficult to meet their daily need for food. This organization allows me and others the opportunity to glean what is good nutritional food for hundreds to enjoy. It provides Biblical study literature to enhance every Christian holiday and for those who glean to encourage an understanding of the plight of hunger. It encourages farmers to share the crops left after reaping. If a person can only donate to one organization, Society of Saint Andrews is the one to choose!

SOSA seems to be able to do the most with every donated dollar. I love the fact that this organization is making use of tons of food that oterwise would not be used.

Society of St. Andrew is an excellent organization which uses donations to the fullest extent. Their programs (Harvest of Hope, Potato Project, etc.) are extremely moving, useful, helpful, and Christ-like. I try to ensure that a large portion of the money I earmark for charity goes to SOSA each year, because I believe in their purpose! Thank you, SOSA, for all that you do!

I was drawn to SoSA by the fact they save food that would otherwise be wasted and feed hungry people. It was how my gramma raised me. Also love their devotion booklets for Advent & Lent. Will always be a money donor. Looking forward to a day when I can be a gleaner also. Want to pass the legacy onto my grandson.

I've been giving to St Andrew's for many years now. Everyone I send the Christmas card to always says that it is one of the most meaningful gifts they receive. It is wonderful how the effectiveness of a small to moderate gift is multiplied by the way the Society uses it.

As one who serves those who live in poverty from the perspective of the church, I find the gleaning efforts of the Society of St. Andrew to be truly helpful. It is wonderful for our food programs at the church to have those fresh foods and vegetables that would otherwise be thrown in the trash or not be other-wise used. And the fact that SoSA goes beyond the immediate needs to also have a focus on the long term causes of hunger and how to solve it increases my opinion of the program

Society of St. Andrew pays particular attention not only to serving the hungry but also to raising awareness about the roots of poverty and ways we can help. They are creative in their abilities to keep their administrative costs low so they can serve more and more people. They work not only to feed hungry bellies but to transform people's hearts and minds. And there is a deeply spiritual focus to the ways that they serve.

When the Society was formed it was to help organize efforts at moving produce that would otherwise be left in fields to rot. The resulting gleaning programs succeeded beyond expectations and spawned other projects that all aim at delivering food to those without the resources to provided adequately for themselves and their families. From humble beginnings the Society of Saint Andrew remains unassuming in its headquarters and staff. Maybe the most inspiring aspect of all this is that so little of the contributed monies go to maintaining offices and personnel. Theirs is truly a ministry.

About five years ago I donated about $20 in memory of my uncle, who was a Society of St. Andrew proponent. Since then I have been barraged with emails and phone calls asking me to donate again. I have tried to "unsubscribe" numerous times and I am still being solicited. I would not recommend this charity, as it appears they spend a lot of resources harassing anyone who has ever given them money.

I originally became involved with the Society of St. Andrew (SOSA) 16 years ago when I attended Harvest of Hope in high school. The experience really motivated me to stay involved with hunger programs, or to "do something about hunger" which I do by volunteering at the Arlington Food Assistance Center, and also by donating to the SOSA. I know that SOSA uses the money well to feed the hungry with very low overhead, and I feel really good about donating my money to this amazing charity.
