Blessings by the Box
Angel Food is available in a quantity that can fit in
to a medium-sized box at $30 per unit. Each month's menu is different than the previous month and consists of both fresh and frozen items with an average retail value of approximately $60. Comparison shopping has been done across the country in various communities using a wide range of retail grocery stores and has resulted in the same food items costing from between $42 and $78.
Generally, one unit of food assists in feeding a family of four for about one week or a single senior citizen for almost a month. The food is all the same high quality one could purchase at a grocery store. There are no second-hand items, no damaged or out-dated goods, no dented cans without labels, no day-old breads and no produce that is almost too ripe.
Also offered are specialty boxes such as steaks, chicken and pork. Many participants in this bonus program appreciate the expanded choices. Additionally, there is no limit to the number of units or bonus foods an individual can receive, and there are no applications to complete or qualifications to which participants must adhere. Angel Food Ministries also participates in the U.S. Food Stamp program, using the Off-Line Food Stamp Voucher system.
There are no qualifications, except that you eat food. You simply order before the 2nd Sunday of the month by ordering on line or mailing the church your order with a self-addressed stamped envelope (so that we can send you a receipt) with your payment and contact information or stopping by the church and placing your order. Then you pick up your order on the morning fourth Saturday of the month at the church at 9:3o.
To help us with the administration costs of the program, we do ask for a $1 donation to the church with each other placed. This helps us cover the cost of boxes, postage, printing and other costs associated with the ministry.
It's both a Bargain and a Blessing!
