Angel Food Ministries is a non-profit, non-denominational organization dedicated to helping people afford food (although it is not income-based, anyone can order from them). Each month they offer a box of food, normally enough to feed a family of four, up to a  week or more. Each box costs $30 and there are additional items you can add.

Let me explain……

Each month a different box is available.  This box (called the Signature Box) is available for $30 and contains meats, vegetables, eggs, milk, etc.  It changes every month, but is always enough to at least feed a family of four for a week.  There is normally a variety of foods, including beef, chicken, pork, fish.  It is quite a bit of food for just $30.  There are then additional boxes available.  These also change monthly, during the summer there are normally grilling boxes, complete with meats that can all be cooked outside on the grill.  Each of these additional boxes can be purchased with or without the purchase of a signature box. This has recently changed, because in the past you HAD to purchase the $30 signature box. I have been told that the Grilling Meat box is an awesome deal.

If you are by chance on food stamps (now called SNAP), they do accept them. What a steal and way to make that money really stretch!

You can visit their site for information on host sites in your area.  These are all churches that have volunteered their time and resources to help others in need.  Each site will either take order in person, or some online.  Each site has different deadlines for orders and pick up times for food.
