Angel Food - Frugal Update #6 - Part 2

We picked up our second month's Angel Food Ministries food from a local church this morning.

From the Angel Food Website:
What is Angel Food Ministries? Angel Food Ministries is a non-profit, non-denominational organization dedicated to providing grocery relief and financial support to communities throughout the United States. The program began in 1994 with 34 families in Monroe, Georgia (between Atlanta and Athens), and has grown to serve hundreds of thousands of families every month across 32 states. Angel Food Ministries crosses denominational lines and has spread the good news of the gospel of Christ through salvation tracts that are placed in each food order. You can learn more at their website www.angelfoodministries.com

No one asks about your income - even if you make $100,000 a year, you can participate in this ministry. The food is good quality and while it's not gourmet brands, it is certainly delicious and satisfies us just fine, as we buy many store brand products anyway.
