I hope to update this page regularly with new ministries as I hear of them.
If you have heard of any opportunities that you think belong on this page, please go to the Contact TGG page and send me an email with the information!
NATIONAL MINISTRIES
See each ministry's website to get more information for your local area.
The Society of St. Andrews (SOSA)
http://www.endhunger.org/
"Gleaning America's Fields ~ Feeding America's Hungry"
This group promotes the Biblical practice of gleaning, or picking up the remaining produce left in a farmer's field after the harvesters have gone by -- food which would normally be left to go bad. "For $25, SOSA can provide a person the USDA recommended requirement of vegetables and fruits for an entire year." Become a gleaner individually or with your church group! It takes about four hours on a Saturday (although you can also do it on a weekday).
Funding: Non-profit
Funds used for direct ministry: 95%
Second Harvest
http://www.secondharvest.org/
The National Food Bank Network. There are many ways to help end hunger besides donating food and funds. You can help out in your local community through activities such as:
- tutoring kids at your local Kids Cafe
- repackaging donated food for use at food pantries
- transporting food to charitable agencies
- clerical work at the National Office
Funding: Non-profit
Volunteer Match
http://www.volunteermatch.org/
Search for volunteer opportunities in your area. You can even narrow your search down to specific areas of interest. It is a free search tool and often gives lots of opportunities, even for a small area. Enjoy!
