Angel Food January online coupon codes

From the AFM E-Zine: January Special Deal
Use "SURFNTURF" coupon code... Buy the Seafood Box and the Premium Meat Box (Special #4) and get Two Dollars off your order. This is the perfect way to celebrate family and friends, host a Superbowl party. Surf 'n Turf at your favorite restaurant can cost $15 and up per person; Angel Food's Surf 'n Turf will feed 8 people for about half of that.

From Nancy: Coupon codes are only good when ordering online. They are a nice offset of the convenience fee.

Also available this month, "NEWYEAR5" which is 5% ($1.50) off a "Signature Box."

December distribution starts in about 12 hours!

December Angel Food records

December ordering has closed, and New Covenant has a record setting month (for us). We will distribute 95 total boxes to 46 families and individuals on Saturday, December 19th. Wow! I believe we have 17 first time customers this month.

January's menu is available online, and online ordering for January 2010's distribution should be opening in a few days. A 6 lb. seafood box has been added, there are 4 meat and/or chicken specials, and the very popular fresh fruit and vegetable box is included again.

Final week to order for December

New Covenant's December Angel Food in-person ordering deadline is this coming Sunday, 12/6. With the distribution day being early in the month (the Saturday before Christmas), the order cut-off is early also.

Someone will be at the church Saturday from 11-1 (or a little later), so stop by before or after the Delano Christmas parade! There will also be someone after worship on Sunday, from 12-3. If you need to come by during the week, it's a good idea to call to make sure someone is available. The number is 943-1884.

Online ordering goes through Wednesday 12/9.

Scouts help with distribution

Four families from Cub Scout pack 281 and Boy Scout troop 281 joined the regular team of New Covenant's volunteers for November's distribution this morning. I appreciated their enthusiastic and energetic help, and I believe the Scouts, dads, and siblings had a good time also.

If you would like to help with an Angel Food distribution for New Covenant's Grocery Relief ministry, either as an individual or as part of a group, please contact me at GroceryRelief@newcovumc.org to make arrangements. We greatly appreciate help; however, there is a limited amount of space so we need to plan ahead, particularly for groups.

Coupon codes for online orders

I have just learned that there are 2 coupon codes for online November Angel Food orders. TURKEY5 will give a 5% discount ($1.50) off the signature box, and NOVSP2 will give a 5% discount ($1.10) off Special #2.

Only one of these codes can be used on each order, and there is a limit to 2000 uses nationwide, according to the Angel Food Ministries Thoughts and Comments blog. As of 11:00 pm Tuesday, November 3rd, they still worked. It's not a lot, but it almost covers the online convenience fee!

Place November orders this weekend

I will be at the church (1718 W Douglas) this Saturday from 11-1 and Sunday after church from 12-3 to take orders for Angel Food to be delivered on November 21st.

Cash and EBT accepted. I can also help you get online and do a credit or debit card order, but Angel Food charges a $2 fee per order for that. Online orders can be placed until Thursday, November 12th.

We also hold a drawing for a free "signature" box of Angel Food each month. Some months we give away more than one. You do not have to order anything to enter the drawing, but you do have to enter each month. (Previous month entries are not entered again automatically.)

Grocery Relief has a blog!

New Covenant United Methodist Church has been helping people save money on groceries with Angel Food for a full year now. We just finished our 12th monthly distribution last Saturday. I'm very excited that our ministry is growing! Every month we get new people coming to buy food at about half of retail prices.

Now we are looking for even more ways to tell people about this opportunity to stretch their grocery dollars. Karen, over at DelanoWichita, suggested I start up a blog. Why didn't I think of that? I've been blogging personally since about 2000. So here we are; Grocery Relief has a blog. We also have a web presence at the Angel Food Ministries website, including a page for online ordering.

When I figure out how to convert a .pdf to an image that Blogger likes I will post the full menu here. For now, click over to AFM's website.
