A yahoo group that I am a member of sent out this link to help with people that are having money problems... which right now, who ain't? So I thought I would pass the link on to you guys!!

Angle Food Ministries

There is a place where you can check and see if there is church in your area that offers this. Its NOT just for church members.... it IS for everyone.

I have a friend with a deadbeat future ex-husband and two young children who was able to survive for a couple of months by getting food through this organization. She said it was a good experience, and the people were very nice to her.

While I looked and we do have this in our area, our church isn't involved and it isn't advertised or anything. I am thinking I would like to talk to our priest and get our church involved and maybe advertise in Social Services and places like that. This is a great program! A great volunteer opportunity too!
Thanks Char!

your welcome... my mom's church is going to look into it as well. There aren't alot of churchs in this area that offer this.

Considering that most of the people that would jump at getting enough food to feed a family for a few weeks a month for 25.00 would be needy. Also there are no limits on how many orders a church can have. From what I understand they are able to get the food as cheap as they do because they are able to buy in bulk. So I would think the more people that take advantage of this program the longer the program will be able to sustain. Ive been through the process and I can't think of many people that aren't "needy" that would bring their own box/basket wait for the church to set up the lines and then go through a line and collect their food. I absolutely have enjoyed the food that they have on their menus. Since it is only my husband and I we only order every other month since the food is a lot.
