BLESSINGS BY THE BOX
Angel Food's groceries are sold in a quantity that can fit into a
medium-sized box at $30 per unit. Each month's menu is different and
consists of both fresh and frozen items with an average retail value of
approximately $50. Comparison shopping has been done across the country
in various communities using a wide range of retail grocery stores and
has resulted in the same food items costing from between $42 and $78.
Generally, one unit of food assists in feeding a family of four for
about one week or a single senior citizen for almost a month. The food
is all the same high quality one would purchase at a grocery store.
There are no second-hand items, no damaged or out-dated goods, no dented
cans without labels, no day-old breads and no produce that is almost too
ripe.
Also offered are specialty boxes such as steaks, chicken and pork. Many
participants in this bonus program appreciate the expanded choices.
Additionally, there is no limit to the number of units or bonus foods an
individual can purchase, and there are no applications to complete or
qualifications to which participants must adhere. Angel Food Ministries,
like most all other retail grocery stores, also participates in the U.S.
Food Stamp program, using the Off-Line Food Stamp Voucher system.
Perry Nazarene has applied for participation in the U.S. Food Stamp
Voucher system and anticipates approval in the near future.
HOW IT WORKS
Food sales and distribution are handled by Perry Church of the
Nazarene. Orders and payments are collected during the first part of
each month. Volunteers from the church pick up the food and prepare for
Distribution Day. Customers then come to Perry Church of the Nazarene
on Distribution Day to get their food, bringing their own box(es) or
baskets to be filled and their receipt. All food not picked up on
Distribution Day by the designated time will be donated to local
families.
