Gleaning is..."hands-on" love in action, a way to feed the hungry, a worth-while activity, for all ages and groups, and lots of fun!

Gleanings are scheduled June through November in many parts of Virginia. Gleaning in the Tidewater area is often available year-round.

Most gleanings are held on Saturday mornings. Week day gleanings may also be available for groups. We do not glean on Sunday.

Gleanings are coordinated and supervised by staff of the Society of St. Andrew

Your group may deliver the gleaned produce to agencies or the Society of St. Andrew's Gleaning Network will arrange delievery

All age groups are invited to glean.
In 2009, 1,579,949 pounds of fresh produce were gleaned, salvaged and distributed by you, your group and others in Virginia. Gleaning fresh fruits and vegetables is a shared experience with putting food on the table of those who are truly hungry in our communities.
