Low Cost Food through Angel Ministry

[tcmgpt13]

If your money for food is not stretching far enough these days, here is a site which may help you find low cost food in your area. It is sold through a Christian ministry to help all. You do not have to be on food stamps to prove eligibility to purchase from this ministry. However they do take food stamps if you are receiving them. There is also a search engine to locate the nearest facility which distributes this food. You may even order online. The menu page for each month describes the various boxes of food available along with their prices, including specials. Accommodation is made for those who have allergy problems or who are on the go (ready made meals).

Welcome*- Angel Food Ministries

Menus of food items available for each month as well as locations for pick up are listed on this site. Here's a brief quote from the site about the food quality:

"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."

Remember, you do not have to be on food stamps or have a low income to buy this food. Everyone qualifies.

Bumping this up for those who may not know about this program which provides lower cost food to all who care to purchase. There is no qualifying income to participate and the number of units purchased is not restricted. With ever more folks out of work and winter's cold hitting hard in many areas I thought it was important to bring this thread back up.
