I have recently come across a program called Angel Food Ministry that sells a box of food for $30 with no requirements for income or other guidelines. The box is meant to last a family of four for one week so I usually buy multiple boxes. It usually contains various meat offerings as well as staples like rice or beans and an assortment of frozen vegetables and a dessert item. If you buy one or more regular boxes you can purchase a special box of selected meats or fruits & vegetables. This program has cut about $200 out my monthly grocery bill so I am happy with it. If you go to www.angelfoodministries.com you can look up participating locations and get a copy of the monthly menu. They also have special offerings for senior citizens.
