Gleaning America's Fields ~ Feeding America's Hungry

 

 

Become a Covenant Church

Join with us to end hunger in America by feeding God's hungry children right here at home.

A Covenant Church commits first and foremost to pray on a continual basis for the Society of St. Andrew and those we serve

In addition to prayer, a Covenant Church commits to participate in at least one program from each of the three areas listed below.  This level of partnership in ministry serves to engage the entire congregation in addressing hunger in America.  Most importantly, the congregation not only will learn about hunger, but it will also make a real difference in people's lives.

 

Little children, let us love, not in word or speech, but in truth and action.  
                                                                                                     1 John 3:18

 

  To become a Covenant Church, commit to participate in at least one program from each area:

Food For The Body

Gleaning Network

 

Church members of all ages can volunteer to glean fresh produce in farm fields in their own communities then deliver the food to agencies to feed their hungry neighbors.

Potato & Produce Project
