Courtney at The Discount Heroes recently reached out to me to do a guest post on Angel Food Ministries. I knew a little bit about Angel Food Ministries, but not enough, and so was thrilled to have her put together a post for me. Read on to learn more. I hope you enjoy her post!
In an economy full of layoffs, falling stocks, and an uncertain future, many families are looking for ways to save on everything from groceries to retirement. My family is right there. Although I have personally learned the value of clipping coupons, before that, we leaned on Angel Food Ministries.
For the past 15 years, Angel Food Ministries has offered immediate hope for those out there still confused by coupons but needing grocery relief. Their services have been a God-send for my family who made too much money to qualify for government-assisted programs but struggled living paycheck to paycheck. Now that my husband is out of work and I am struggling with my own home business, we continue to depend on 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. By buying food from first-rate suppliers at substantial volume discounts, Angel Food Ministries is able to provide families with approximately $65 worth of quality nutritious food for $30.
One box from Angel Food can feed a family of four for about one week or a single senior citizen for almost a month. Each month’s menu is different and consists of fresh, frozen and packaged food. Providing quality, nutritious food at significant discounts on a regular basis is one practical way to give people a “hand up” during difficult times. There are also no applications or qualifications necessary to purchase.
The Angel Food Ministries website also features a recipes page so families don’t feel like they’re eating the same thing over and over. Paying $30 a week to feed a family of four is probably a lot cheaper than you’re spending now. If you check out the menu page, you’ll notice they offer affordable extra add-ons to supplement larger families or those families with big appetites.
Angel Food Ministries does not care about your income. You can be the poorest of the poor or the richest of the rich and still qualify to receive this box of food for $30. This ministry has been such a blessing for my family! If you’re wondering what kind of meals you’re getting for this $30, you can click here to view this month’s menu. You’ll see there is plenty of food and each box contains well-balanced nutritious meals.
Orders and distribution are handled by church host sites. Although Angel Food Ministries works within many of the states across the U.S., if there is no Angel Food program in your area and you would like to be a host site, you can fill out this application to get started.

I have been purchasing from Angel Food since Sept of last year a recommendation from my mom. She suggested we try this when both my husband I were forced to take furlough days at our jobs. With a college sophmore, high school sophmore and 8th grader we need to save what we can where we can. While somethings may not be what I would buy had I been at the store, I cannot complain about the quality. Our steaks are so good, chicken has been delicious, have loved the stir-fry dinners and all the rest. This has been a big money saver for me. For a family of 5 I save over $250 a month byu getting 1 Regular box and I extra meat box. I also love the coupon codes!!!!
