This special monthly service will provide high-quality food items at $30.00 per box, which represents a savings of up to 60% on a grocery bill at your local stores. Also, the GIFT BOX is a wonderful gift to give someone. Tell your friends, associates and family members about the benefits of purchasing Angel Food.

The Basic Box Purchase Requirement Changed. Effective immediately, Angel Food has provided that for any food boxes purchased, allowing for the purchase of any item, Special boxes and Signature boxes alike, with no limits or pre-buy requirements.
Simply put, you no longer need to buy a Signature Box, Allergen Free or Senior Meal box to qualify for the Produce, Grill and Meat boxes, or whatever else the Specials may be. Effective immediately, the website ordering system has been enabled to recognize these changes and accept all orders!
The Angel Food Senior Box has ten (10) individual meals fully-cooked. These are top quality meals that will provide senior citizens the nutrition they need with the great quality they have come to expect from Angel Food Ministries. Just heat and serve. All for ONLY $28.00 per box. (That's only $2.80 per meal.) View and print the Angel Food Menu for nutritionally balanced meals for seniors. This Senior Box is is on the monthly menu, and it is treated just like a Regular Signature Box. You may order the Senior Box and still have access to our Specials, which will be an added benefit to our senior citizens. You do not have to be a senior to order.
