Review for Society of St. Andrew, Big Island, VA, USA

Rating: 5 stars  

SoSA is an extremely efficient and effective organization. Following a very simple and age old philosophy of gleaning perfectly good food that would otherwise go to waste, they provide millions of pounds of food per year to those in need. With the ever increasing problem of obesity, even in those who face food insecurity, a provider of fresh fruits and vegetables produced at very low cost is invaluable to our nation. Gleaning and distributing excess food left in fields should be standard operating procedure on all farms in all states. SoSA provides the infrastructure to gather and distribute this food through their many partnerships with churches, transportation companies and other non-profits, such as Feeding America.

I've personally experienced the results of this organization in...

Having visited the national headquarters as well the western headquarters, I can see that the level of dedication to the mission is unsurpassed.

If I had to make changes to this organization, I would...

Provde a more broad scaled approach that reaches all faiths and the secular community on a national level.

Role:  Board Member & I have worked as a national board member and as an advisory board member for the western headquarters. I have helped plan fundraisers and brought new donors to the group.
