Angel Food Ministries
by Lisa Cahill

One of my favorite places for saving money on groceries, or for purchasing a blessing for a needy family, is Angel Food Ministries. 

Angel Food Ministries works to provide grocery relief to communities throughout the US. It is completely free to participate and there are no income limitations or forms to fill out. The non-denominational program works with local community churches and organizations to provide boxes, or "units," of food to people at the cost of $25 per unit. Each month your local host site will collect orders and payment, then about 2 weeks later
you bring your own box (we use a laundry basket) to pickup your order. To find a host site in your town, go to: www.angelfoodministries.com/hosts.

The unit contents are different each month, and each unit is generally considered to be at least a $50 dollar value. To see what this month's menu is for your area, go to: www.angelfoodministries.com/menu.

Once you purchase a unit either for yourself or someone else, you also have the option of three special packages as add-ons to your order, each for a substantial discount over grocery store prices. 

We have found the program to be a wonderful help to our grocery budget!
