Back in September, Frugalicious Diva, like many others across the country was devastated to hear that Angel Food Ministries was closed down. It was a blow to many budgets, but I count myself blessed because at least I hadn't ordered my food package for that month. I heard there are still people out there fighting to get their money back. It's a great blow because they didn't get the food and they are out of their grocery money.Edited to say...according to an anonymous visitor to this blog, all customers have been paid back...you make the call, especially since the Angel Food Ministries website is no longer up to confirm this...
I'm still part of the AFM Facebook group and went to visit there today just to see if there was new news. Still no more AFM, but I did run across a post with a list of alternative budget helpers. The following is a list of alternative to Angel Food Ministries; they are other food distribution organizations in place to give good quality food with prices more families can afford. I have also listed their websites.
One Harvest Food Ministries
Mid America Foods
Truth Family Foods
Prairie Land Foods
SmartChoice Foods
Gaballi

All customers have received their refunds. There was a hold up on some that paid with food stamps because of beurocratic red tape. AFM could not just issue them a cash refund like they did others. The refunds were actually completed in mid October.
