Angel Food Ministries is a program that can save you lots of money on your grocery bill. They distribute Food Packages once a month. These are not free, but they are a bargain. The package contains about $50.00 worth of food for $25.00. You do not have to be of any certain income level to participate. Anyone can participate. In addition to the $25.00 Food Package, for another $25.00 you can order a meat package. Here is a list of the states that participate:
Alabama, Arkansas, California, Delaware, Florida, Georgia, Illinois, Indiana, Iowa, Kansas, Kentucky, Louisiana, Maryland, Michigan, Mississippi, Missouri, Nevada, New Jersey, New Mexico, New York, North Carolina, Ohio, Oklahoma, Pennsylvania, South Carolina, Tennessee, Texas, Virginia, West Virginia
And you can find more information on their website, including what the current month's menu is. You order and pay by the deadline, and then they tell you where and when to pick up your order.

My mom does this, and they have some real good food on there (I liked the apple crisp they had last summer!) do you know how to start one up in a state? Oregon doesn't have one yet.... (08/22/2006)

There has to be someone, usually a church, that is willing and able to be a host. If your church would like to get involved, there is information on the website on how to get set up. Just click on the link in the article.

thank you for your tip and the link to Angel Food Ministries. I have heard about them in the past and have keyword searched in vain through the internet for their website so I could find out if they were available in my area. I was able to find a place for my family, my parents, and my aunts. Thank you and my God bless you and your family.

My husband and I have been getting a box every month since March. We are so overjoyed at the quality, variety and savings that Angel Food represents. We have never had this much meat/poultry in our freezer. We feel so blessed. (08/23/2006)

I'm embarrassed to say that I searched their site several months ago and just "didn't find or get it", seeing that it must FIRST be a purchased program by a church that participates, THEN you can try to get the food for yourself? Please clarify if this is correct.

I just went today & ordered 2 boxes today. I found the church on the website & I called them & they were very informative. I am going to try & see if my church wants to start doing this. Anyway, I paid for it & she said they distribute between 9am-10 am on a saturday, so you do not have to spend a lot of time waiting. She said it ususally only takes a few minutes. This church has the forms on the outside along with a drop box so you do not even have to go during church hours to pay for it. My son & his wife really need this help & I am really excited about this. (09/08/2006)

We ordered our first box last month and loved it. The quality of the food was outstanding. We ordered a chicken box and the chicken nuggets were better than any store bought or Fast food Chicken that we have had.
It is really helping us. This month I bumped up my order to last us the month, so I only have small things to buy at the grocery store. With two small growing boys who are hungry all day every day our monthly grocery bill is going down at least 200$ a month.
