About the Food
Each month's menu is different and consists of fresh, frozen and packaged food. Angel Food is purchased from the nation’s top food suppliers. Providing quality, nutritious food at significant discounts on a regular basis is one practical way to give people a “hand up” during difficult times. The cost for a box of Angel Food is $30. There is no purchase limit for boxes of Angel Food. There are no applications or qualifications necessary to purchase.
About the Value
Comparison shopping nationwide in various grocery stores has revealed that the average retail value for the same food items would be approximately $65. Generally, one box of Angel Food assists in feeding a family of four for about one week or a single senior citizen for almost a month. About Specialty Boxes
Each month, Angel Food Ministries also offers “specialty boxes” of steak, chicken, pork or other foods. This bonus program affords participants additional food choices at a great value. There is no purchase limit for specialty boxes or bonus foods. There are no applications or qualifications necessary to purchase.
Food Stamp Program
To better help families in need, Angel Food Ministries participates in the Food Stamp Program. This program is designed to help low-income families buy the food they need for good nutrition. Each month, by processing the most offline Food Stamp vouchers in the country, Angel Food is helping feed approximately 100,000 people in the United States.

Spring Woods United Methodist Church has been and continues to be an example of the compassion Christ exhibited during his short time on earth. There are over 2,000 verses in the Bible telling us we are to help the poor or those less fortune. Ten times in the New testament Jesus was "moved by compassion" and he spent over 1/3 of his ministry assisting the poor and caring for the sick. Giving blood is the ultimate act of selflessness and compassion for our fellow man. Each donation saves up to 3 lives, and cancer patients use the most blood. Please continue to give blood if you do and give serious thought and prayer to the idea of donating the next time you can, if you have never done so before.
