Mid-Week Shouts Out

This week I'm giving shouts out to Angel Food Ministries.

What is Angel Food Ministries?:
Angel Food Ministries is a non-profit, non-denominational organization dedicated to providing grocery relief and financial support to communities throughout the United States.
(that's taken from their website)
I want to add though, because that almost makes it sound as if you need to qualify as 'needy' to receive a month from AFM & that's not the case.

Angel Food is available in a quantity that can fit into a medium-sized box at $30 per unit. Each month's menu consists of both fresh and frozen items with an average retail value of approximately $60.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.

Sample Menu:
(this month's menu can be viewed here)

  • 4 lb. IQF Leg Quarters
  • 4 oz. Beef Back Ribs
  • 1 lb. 80/20 Lean Ground Beef
  • 2 lb. Breaded Chicken Tenders
  • 1.5 lb. Bone in Pork Chops (4 x 6oz.)
