Have You Heard of Angel Food?

Several times over the past two years, my husband and I have ordered groceries from Angel Food Ministries.

They are a non-denominational, non-profit organization that strives to bring reasonably priced groceries to all people. A typical order of food costs $30 and should feed a family of 4 for a week. (They estimate the order would cost $60 on average if purchased at the grocery store.) Anyone can order, regardless of income. In addition, they take food stamps.

We have not ordered for a while, in part because we have had no freezer space. You can order your food online; typically, food is delivered to the host location one to two weeks after the order deadline, and you must pick it up within a limited time frame (usually within a 1 to 2 hour window on a certain day).

I do not stand to gain anything by telling you about Angel Food, but I can tell you that it is a wonderful service, and my husband and I have always been pleased with the orders, which include various cuts of meat, vegetables, eggs, desserts, etc.
