Could YOU use help in trimming your grocery bill?  

There is a ministry called Angel Food Ministries that is a non-profit, non-denominational organization dedicated to providing grocery relief throughout the United States.

 

www.angelfoodministries.com

 

For about $30, you can purchase enough food to feed a family of 4 for about a week.  There is no income requirements and you can also purchase meat only packages and fruit only packages.  There are a number of sites locally, just put in your zip code to find one near you

 

Also, as someone pointed out in the previous blog, you can also purchase ready made meals for seniors

 

Here is December's Menu.   

 

 

1.5 lb. Choice Cut Beef Roast

2 lb.    Breaded Chicken Tenders

2 lb.    IQF Chicken Breast

1.5 lb. Pork Chops (4 x 6 oz.)

1 lb.    80/20 Lean Beef Patties (4 x 4 oz.)

28 oz. Salisbury Steak Entreé

1 lb.    All Meat Hot Dogs

1 lb.    Carrots

1 lb.    Green Beans

1 lb.    Rice

24 oz. Steak-Cut Fries

32 oz. 2% Reduced Fat Shelf Stable Milk

7.5 oz. Mac and Cheese

14 oz. Chicken Broth

7 oz.   Corn Muffin Mix

          Dozen Eggs

          Dessert Item

My SIL told me about this. Have you tried it yourself?

I haven't tried it yet, my mil just told me about it today. I'm gonna order for December, I think, and try it out. The way my kids eat, it won't feed us for a week, however, it'll help

I have a friend that does this, its awsome. I would do it, but i know that there are other people that need it more than me. But I think that its a great idea. I know it helps out from having to purchase these items.

I can use the help with my grocery bills, that's for sure. Also, if you know of an organization or individual looking for a charity to donate to, you can make donations

BooMylar, It doesn't take away from the people that need it by you getting angel food, it's not just for poor people. Also part of the money goes toward the church and to help feed needy people, so you would actually be helping out by prdering angel food ;-) My church does angel food.

Thanks, Anne, I didn't know that part. That's great.

NCMOM:

Thank you so much for this info. My heat went out on me Friday night (the coldest night of the year) and I don't have the money to get it fixed. I had to go out and buy space heaters so we (myself & 2 dogs) will be warm. This could help me save some to get my heat fixed. God Bless.

My sister and her two grown daughters who have children belong to this in NW PA, and they rave about it.

God bless.

Rev. RB

mmania -

What do you need to get your heat fixed?

God bless.

Rev. RB

mmania, I'm almost in the same situation. I know ours is about to go out... we're constantly getting it fixed. We're supplementing with space heaters so our unit won't have to work that hard. It'd be around 5k for a new unit which I don't have. I wonder what the cost of wood stove would be?
