Orders will be taken in St. Ignace this month for families who need discounted food through Angel Food Ministries. Food orders can be placed at the First National Bank downtown branch or orders can be made online at www.angel foodministries.com. An average box of food contains about 21 pounds of groceries and may be purchased for $30.

There are no income requirements and no limit on the number of boxes an individual or family may purchase. Angel Food Ministries also offers the purchase of one or more “Special Units” that consist of meat, chicken, fruits, and vegetables. Payment for Angel food is by cash, check, or food stamp bridge card.

The due date to purchase Angel Food is Wednesday, December 9, and delivery will be Saturday, December 19, from noon to 1:30 p.m. at the Catholic Center on Spring Street.

Angel Food is a nonprofit, nationwide program dedicated to providing food relief to communities throughout the United States. It can make a difference to families struggling by providing food for half the retail price. Products are high quality, “name brand” foods consisting of both fresh and frozen items.

The Assembly of God Church in St. Ignace is the host sponsor, with all proceeds going to the St. Ignace Legacy House (Women’s Shelter).

For questions, call Kathy Lawnichak at 643-7185 or Mary Lynn Swiderski at 643-1565 in the evenings.
