This sounds like a really neat program. Angel Food Ministries sells a box of food for $30. The retail value of the box is usually between $60- $72 dollars. This is first quality food boxed up and ready for pick up. There is no paperwork to fill out. Anyone can participate. You just show up and pick up what you want. They accept food stamps. To find the nearest host site near you click here and then type in your zip code. I know that they have host sites in Midland, Odessa, and Gardendale. For more information call: 1-888-918-3745

If you prefer prepackaged, nutritionally balanced meals that are ready to heat and eat. They offer ten meals for $28 dollars. These are especially nice for seniors that don't feel like cooking.
AND they offer a meal box that meets the needs of those that are allergic to many foods and need a special menu.
It sounds like such a wonderful program- thanks to the sister from Big Lake who shared this information with me!
