Gleanings From The Harvest will distribute 20,000 pounds of potatoes to "the hungry and the working poor" in Galveston on Saturday in the parking lot of St. Patrick Catholic Church, 1010 35th Street. Mark Davis, director of the organization, said this will be the third distribution of potatoes. "In January of 2005, arrangements were made to bring in approximately 19,000 pounds of potatoes and through the cooperation of St. Patrick's Catholic Church we were able to distribute this quantity of potatoes within three hours," Davis said. "It was then discussed that we would strive to host this event every other month at St. Patrick's because of its centralized location and the response of people that were able to walk and receive from the neighborhoods as well as the ones who could drive." In addition to Gleanings From the Harvest volunteers, Boy Scouts and the Ball High National Honor Society are helping to bag the potatoes for distribution. "For those that may not need potatoes for themselves but know of neighbors in need and would like to come and receive for them and make deliveries to others, please come as your help is appreciated," Davis said.
