Society of St. Andrew Celebrates One Billion Pounds of Donated Food Since 1979
The Society of St. Andrew (SoSA) is a national hunger relief organization that was founded in 1979 in Big Island, Virginia by two United Methodist ministers - Ray Buchanan and Ken Horne. The founders identified the ongoing problems of hunger and food waste and resolved to do something about it. Farmers and growers were asked to donate their surplus or unmarketable crops.
