Grocery Bills Expected to Climb in 2010

Being strapped for cash is nothing new to the average American, since food costs have been climbing since 2007. But this year the U.S. Department of Agriculture predicts food costs will rise four percent or more by the end of 2010. The rise in food costs has also led more than 3 billion Americans to use coupons in 2009.

Angel Food Ministries provides a way for families to cut their food bill in half without having to use coupons, despite rising food costs.

“We spend an average of $150 a week on our grocery bill, and that’s at Walmart. We buy mostly the basics but we also try and eat healthy with fresh fruits and vegitables,” said Jennifer Bailey of Lynchburg, VA, who feeds a family of three.

Angel Food Ministries provides meal boxes filled with frozen fresh meats and other basics for $30. The food boxes are filled to feed a family of four for a week, or a single person for a whole month.

Angel Food distributes the food boxes at various locations around Virginia towns, including 32 sites in or around Richmond, VA, and 12 sites in the Virginia Beach/ Norfolk area.

Angel Food provides food to anyone regardless of income, with no programs to join and no restrictions. And for $30 you get a full box of food. All you have to do is put your order in via the web, or in person, by the order deadline and pick up your box at your designated location.

In a Fox article aired on KTVI, an Angel Food volunteer explained that for every order placed through a given church, angel food rebates a portion of the purchase price back to the church to be used to help the community.

March’s order deadline is the 15th. To order by the deadline, find your host site or order online.

Angel Food Ministries is a non-profit, non-denominational organization dedicated to providing food relief and financial support to communities throughout the United States. The program began in 1994 with 34 families in Monroe, Georgia and has grown to serve hundreds of thousands of families every month across 44 states.

“Every month the menu changes… It’s a great way to save 50% on your grocery bill,” the volunteer said.

March’s menu, for example, includes steaks, bacon wrapped turkey filet mignon, pork chops, chicken breasts, a pizza and a variety of basics like eggs and rice.

There are other boxes available as well, including a fresh fruits and vegetables box, a seniors convenience box, a special grilling meats box, sea food, and new this month is the after school snack box. See the full menu here >

Angel Food Adds After School Snack Box

• FullyCookedChickenRingsinResealable Bag (Approx. 8 servings)
• FullyCookedChicken&CheeseNuggetsin Resealable Bag (Approximately 8 servings)

Angel Food Host Sites Reach Across Virginia

In the past year the number of Angel Food host sites has grown from 30 to more than 125 in Virginia. Almost no matter where you are in the state you are close to a local host site.

With a large number of sites growing in the Tidewater area, new sites in northern VA and along the I-81 corridor and in SW corner of the state. You can find a site near you by searching at the Angel Food national website.

Cut Your Grocery Costs

Many families are working to reduce their expenses during the economic downturn. Whether it is due to reduced hours at work, a decrease in the amount of value in your home, a layoff, or if you are just working to improve your financial situation– Angel Food can be one part of decreasing food costs while improving nutrition.

An impressive menu for only $30 will provide at least $60 in food value. One estimate of the June menu was at least $65.00 in regular shopping costs. Since there is no income qualification or registration requirement, any individual or family can participate. And that is what you will see when you join others at a local distribution site.

Its not difficult to do the math. $50 used to purchase Angel Food (a basic box and a special) will provide at least $100 in food value, freeing up those funds so they can go to work in some other area of your life.

But don’t think that because the cost is low, the food is low quality. There are no surplus, seconds or dated foods provided by Angel Food. In fact, when they receive donated foods in their warehouse, those foods are sent out to food banks and pantries–because Angel Food never comes from donated sources.

The most common question about Angel Food is whether it is actually as good as it sounds. The best way to answer this question is to try it for yourself. Order online or at a local non profit or church near you.

Military Host Sites

Angel Food provides a great resource for military personnel and their families. Stretch your food dollar and enjoy more steak, meat and other great food.

“I’m a single parent this year, and Angel Food really helps me out,” said Sergeant Rideout , one of those who took part in the distribution. “Money is tight, and I’m trying to buy Christmas presents for my kids.”
