We participated in Angel Food for the first time this month. It is a nationwide organization that seeks to provide some relief from high food prices to families. There is no qualification, no papers to fill out- nothing. You simply order how many packages you want, pay for it, and then pick it up. Their main box is $30 and will feed a family of 4 for about a week.
We received our food today, and there is a lot of it. We ordered 2 boxes because we have a family of 8. We also ordered an extra meat box, full of steak, pork chops and hamburgers. It's quite a bit of food and a lot of meat. I'm pretty sure it will provide dinner for all of us for at least a week, if not more. I'll have to add sides and veggies (although we did get some of those) and bread, but I think it was a good deal.
If you want to check into it, go to the website www.angelfoodministries.com and see if your area has a participating church. In this day and age, we all can use every break we can get!

You know I have heard of them, or maybe it was something like it. Great deal.
Not a good deal. My wife priced each item using local grocery store ads. Her total came up less than what they charge. And most of the food is high fat.
Worse yet, this organization is led by four family members who collectively draw over $2 million in salaries. As a tax exempt charity they have to make their financial statements public. I've included a link to their statement. Check page 5.
