Angel Food Ministries- Please Read, and Pass Along

Came across this in our local paper, and I really think anyone who is in financial hard times, or knows someone who is, should check this out-

For starters, remember the name Angel Food Ministries and the Web site you can find it at is www.angelfoodministries.com.

(snip)

The reason? It contains information on how you can get food valued at $65 for about $30, and none of the food is seconds. A variety of items are included.

"I have seen people who are really destitute," Kling said. "And this is like a Godsend to them."

Angel Food Ministries is the provider, and it works through a number of area churches on a monthly basis. Its Web site will lead you to the church closest to you.

No requirements in terms of income are necessary to take part. Yes, anyone reading this can take part.

The reason the food is more than half off is because Angel Food Ministries is in 35 states and it buys in bulk.

And one can purchase as many units as they would like, according to the (877) 366-3646 line.

The ministry estimates that one basic order will help feed a family of four for a week or a senior citizen for one month.

In looking thru their website, it seems like a good deal, but in the basic package not much better than I can do with careful shopping with coupons**. Then again, not everyone can take the time to comparison shop as well as I do. (I'm really, really good) But it was the Senior Menu that stood out-

Ten perfectly seasoned, nutritionally balanced, fully cooked meals—just heat and serve. Each meal has been developed with the dietary needs of senior citizens in mind, and contains 3 oz. of protein, a starch & two vegetables or fruit.

Plus cookies!! For $28. Pretty impressive and handy for those who may be movement impaired and unable to navigate a kitchen any more. I don't usually recommend religious stuff, but it doesn't seem as if they have a theological threshold, they really are just trying to help people out. Pass this around.

**Added- But then again, the menu changes monthly I'd guess due to changes in what they can buy in bulk, so I may yet be impressed.
