These are tough times.
I don't think there is anyone who is not feeling the effect of this unstable economy. It seems as though every few days I get a new message from a friend whose husband has lost their job or has taken a severe pay cut in order to keep his job.
Life is scary. It's easy to wallow and get caught up in the fears.
What if...?
Well, I don't know all the "what ifs." What I do know is that God is good and hears all of our prayers.
Recently I "stumbled" upon a little blessing in our financial life and I'm so excited to share it with you!
What is my blessing?
It's http://www.angelfoodministries.com/
I heard about it on my local news station.
It's a ministry that began out of Georgia and now has over 500,000 participants each MONTH!
Here's the deal.
Each month this ministry sends out a monthly food menu. The menu consists of many food items (mostly meats). If you're interested in purchasing the food for the month, you simply order the food and pay $30. They claim that each box has enough food to feed a family of 4 for a week. We have personally found that it's now been about 2 weeks for us and I still have plenty of food left and I've made a meal every night.
Basically, churches all over the US sign up to assist this ministry by acting as distribution sites for the food.
You send your $30 to the church that is closest to your home and then you're given the date when you can pick up your box of food from that church.
The bottom line is that the ministry is ordering at such a bulk amount they are able to offer about 3 times as much food at a fraction of the cost to you!
It has nothing to do with income. There are no applications, no limitations on amount ordered. Simply send it your check and voila! Your freezer will be stocked with amazing tasty foods!
I have now ordered my first "box" of food and we have had some of the best meals we've had in months. Every item in the box is name-brand/restaurant quality.
Let's face it; with this economy every savings is worthwhile.
Since there's no limit on the amount of boxes you can order, I'm seriously considering ordering 4 boxes next time so I'll have enough food for a month!
Here's a little picture of all that was in my last box.

Thanks so much for this info. Someone I work with had told me about this and I had forgotten. I am going to share this with my friends and family. I work at a grocery store so I know how much all of this stuff costs, and it's a lot more than $30!!
I don't have your number, but I'd like to call and talk to you about this- I used to order these boxes a while back, but quit because I'd end up not using some of the stuff. I looked at the website and it seems like they've re-vamped their menu and options. I would probably get a regular box and a fresh fruit and veggies box and am considering ordering for this coming month if I can chat with you about it first.
