Changes to Angel Food give more payment options
Anyone interested in obtaining an Angel Food Ministries package now has more options, according to the Rev. Tim Smith of Alamo Heights Baptist Church.
One can now pay for a food package with a debit or credit card and even order a package online.
Order online at angelfoodministries.com.
Angel Food Ministries packages are boxes of food available at much reduced costs and assessable to all income groups. Locally orders must be placed at the Alamo Heights Baptist Church located at 1604 W. Austin in Port Lavaca. The deadline to order is now noon Dec. 9. Payment is due when orders are placed. The boxes will be distributed at the county fairgrounds on County Road 101 from 1-2 p.m. Saturday, Dec. 20. The online deadline is noon Dec. 7.
“These food packages are purchased at a considerable savings,” Smith said. “In the past two years we have been doing this residents have paid $150,000 for the food.
Smith said he will be requesting churches and businesses to order special family meal boxes for needy families. Members of Alamo Heights Baptist Church will deliver the packages if the purchasers so desire it.
Angel Food Ministries is a non-profit, non-denominational organization dedicated to providing grocery relief and financial support to communities throughout the United States. The program began in 1994 with 34 families in Monroe, Georgia (between Atlanta and Athens), and has grown to serve hundreds of thousands of families every month across 35 states.
Angel Food is available in a quantity that can fit into a medium-sized box at $30 per unit. Each month’s menu is different than the previous month and consists of both fresh and frozen items with an average retail value of approximately $60. Comparison shopping has been done across the country in various communities using a wide range of retail grocery stores and has resulted in the same food items costing from between $42 and $78.
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.
