The way the program works is simple.
Each month participants have the opportunity to buy a "box" of groceries which they pick up on a specified
day. Exactly what that box of food will include changes from month to month, but buyers will know in
advance what they are purchasing. The food includes a variety of both frozen and fresh items, and usually has a retail
value of between $45-$70. Along with each order comes a publication titled "The Servant", which includes
religious and inspirational messages and the menu for the next month.
There are no restrictions on the number of food boxes that can be purchased by an individual
or group each month. According to Angel Food Ministries, one box of food should feed a family of four for one week
or a single person for one month.
