I haven't used them but a really good friend I've known for 20 years has and she said it was wonderful! She said she saved a great chunk of money and was able to donate to a cause against pet abuse. It sounds great and I keep my eyes out whenever I accompany my mom with the grocery shopping.

We have been using Angel Food Ministries since March when I lost my job, and have been very grateful for the assistance it has given us in our food bill.

The biggest benefit for us has been in the addition of meat to our diet, as we get two or three times the amount of meat that we would normally be able to afford.

There are also non meat offerings, ALL meat options, and a frozen meal option for Seniors. I think they just started a Hispanic section.

I have recommended this to several other families who are out of work (although you don't have to be). My son is a college student who buys and cooks his own food, and he is considering this also. He's an athlete and never gets enough protein. He eats an amazing amount of food.

If you have any questions, I know of four or five families using this besides ours, and would be happy to share with you through a private DQ.

In my opinion it is a great ministry as we can use the grocery money we save to help pay our mortgage and stay in our house.

I have worked for Angel Food Ministries. This service is a great thing. You save money and get great food. You get a single box, and special's if you order them. They cost a little extra but they are worth it. The food is all high quality, some of it doesnt taste that fantastic, but thats to be expected with all food right? I will definately continue to use Angel Food in the future, no question about it. I wonder why people dont like it?

I haven't used them personally but I know my children have and they were very pleased with them. This is a wonderful ministry for the holiday season, and I salute you and your friend for your generous spirit!

We have used them several times in the past and looking at using them again. The extra food has in times past definitely kept us from having to do ramen noodles or hamburger helper only suppers. My grandmother and several of her friends on fixed incomes also used them.

They are wonderful and if you do not need to purchase the food that month, you are able to purchase a box for someone who does need it.

I haven't personally used the Angel Food Ministries, but I know a lot of people who have been helped tremendously by the program.

In New York, we have a similar program called Extra Helpings. Our church is one of the providers in the area and we do help out with distributing food to the community and use it ourselves sometimes. It's a great way to get a good amount of food for a small price - whether it's to get enough food to survive on in times of financial difficulty, to reduce the monthly grocery bill or simply to stock up, it's a great program!

Interestingly enough, I didn't know Angel Food Ministries existed in my area until I read your post. Turns out, they're all around me so I may have to check into this more. Thanks!

In case anyone else is interested in finding a location near them, here's a locator tool for Angel Food Ministries.

I have used Angel Food Ministries in the past, and my mother and mother in law do use them on occasion. It is a great deal, and you get a lot of food for the money. They also accept food stamps for families going through tough times. It is a great program that anyone can use, both families in need and those looking to save money.

I am not sure if the program is available everywhere and if the specifics of the program are the same in all locations. You can order food online and find a local host site near you at the link below.

The only disadvantage that I found with the program is that you pay upfront, at the beginning of the month, and don't get your food until the end of the month. For someone on a tight budget, that can be a long time to wait, but in the end, the savings are worth it.

Another thing that I would recommend to others looking to cut their food bill is to look for local food coop programs. They often administer similar programs that offer more variety and fresher selections. The foods are provided by local farmers and ranchers, which can mean less food allergy complications for those more sensitive. Organic and no growth hormone meats are also often available.

In Oklahoma, try the Oklahoma Food Cooperative at the link below. You can order online, and they provide free delivery in certain locations.

We have used it every month for a couple of years now. It has saved us so much money. I loved it this summer when they included the sea food boxes! There is absolutely no way you could buy that much seafood for that price. Here where I live now you can even order online which makes it so convenient.
