The way the program works is simple. Each
month participants have the opportunity to buy a $30 "unit" of groceries which they pick up on a specified day.
Exactly what that basic unit 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
$50-$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 basic units that
can be purchased by an individual or group each month. According to Angel Food Ministries, one unit of food should feed
a family of four for one week or a single person for one month.
If you are a returning customer you may have noticed the $5
increase in cost per regular box beginning 2008. This price increase is coming from the Home Angel Food office.
In order to maintain quality and quantity of products and accomodate for the high gas prices Angel Food has had to increase
the cost for food..
