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.

[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.

The Society of St. Andrew bases their methodology on the practice of stewardship, claiming that 93% of their funds are directly invested in hunger relief.

As the produce is donated, the Society of St. Andrew pays solely for the transportation and packaging of the food, with a per-pound cost of roughly $0.06.

Events organized by Harvest of Hope take place throughout the year, involving week-long or weekend youth retreats run by the Society of St. Andrew and their parent sponsors.

During one such workshop at Franktown United Methodist Church on the Eastern Shore of Virginia, a farmer questioned Horne and Buchanan about statistics they presented regarding food waste, leading to the creation of the Potato and Produce Project.

On June 3, 1983, a farmer from Chadbourn, North Carolina, donated a tractor-trailer load of sweet potatoes to the Society of St. Andrew.
