April Grocery distribution this Saturday

New Covenant will be distributing Angel Food on Saturday, April 23, from 9-10:30 am. We will also be taking orders for May. The May menu is available online. We will have printed menus at the church.


After some experimentation with using all pre-packed boxes, then going back to assembly-line style, AFM has decided to return to pre-packed boxes for all selections. An overwhelming majority of host sites responding to a survey after the March distribution preferred the pre-packed method. It makes distribution faster and, more importantly, makes shortages and errors much less likely. The only assembly that will be done at the host sites are adding the non-frozen items to B1 (Bread of Life - Signature box) and B3 (Bountiful Blessing box).

Due to price increases in both food and fuel, several of the boxes have gone up a few dollars in price. Some boxes have more items, and some have remained the same. None of the boxes have gotten smaller with a higher price! (Specials change content and price every month, so I don't count Special #1's change in that statement.)

    B1 (Bread of Life - Signature box) is $35 with 19 items
