Volunteers are needed on Wednesdays from May 3 to Oct 25, 1pm-2pm, to collect donations from vendors at the Original Farmers Market and deliver them to a local food pantry. It typically only takes about 1 hour, its easy and fun! If you enjoy going to the farmer's market to shop, this is the ideal opportunity to help those in need at the same time!
Sign up on our website: https://endhunger.org/indiana/ or contact Laura Tagliani at in-glean@endhunder.org, 317-607-0004.

Mission Statement
The Society of St. Andrew brings people together to harvest and share healthy food, reduce food waste, and build caring communities by offering nourishment to hungry neighbors.
Description
Since January 2018, the Society of St. Andrew has operated a statewide, volunteer-driven Gleaning Network in Indiana that coordinates with local farmers, thousands of volunteers, and food providing agencies. Our Indiana Gleaning Network will multiply the amount of fresh produce we can provide to the hungry in the state each year. Please join us in this exciting hands-on activity.
Please contact us to indicate your interest in gleaning. When we have opportunities within 30-45 minutes of your location, we will email you with details and invite you to join us in the fields. Society of St. Andrew makes all arrangements with farmers, produce containers and food distribution. All that volunteer gleaners need to do is show up. Volunteer groups are encouraged to take food back to agencies or programs that they support in their local area.
People of all ages can glean. Gleaners should be able to bend over and should be able to bend and lift several pounds of produce. Most of our gleanings are in the morning and last two to three hours. Gleanings are scheduled week days and on Saturdays.
