Through the Mississippi Gleaning Network, we coordinate volunteers in many areas of the state who actually enter fields after farmers have finished harvesting and simply pick up the tons of good produce left behind. Our volunteers represent groups from various church denominations, synagogues, youth groups, other civic organizations, individuals, and inner city residents.
 

This project is specifically about sweet potatoes that have already been harvested but are headed for the trash bin. They need to be bagged into standard potato bags for distribution by the Society of St. Andrew to agencies that are feeding the hungry in Mississippi and the surrounding areas.
