Salem UMC: Missions

Gleaning

Several times each year we are invited by the NC Gleaning network to participate in gleaning surplus produce from local agricultural fields.  The NC Gleaning network is an affiliate of The Society of St. Andrew, an ecumenical Christian ministry dedicated to meeting both spiritual and physical hungers. Please contact Peter Boettger if you would like to be notified when these events occur.
