So it seems to me that the program, on top of couponing, would be a good way to diversify the pantry. That being said ... what's held me back is there isn't a convenient delivery location for Monroe residents. So my mother and I have been debating whether to place a combo order at a participating church near her home in Ohio, on the theory that she could do both our pickups if needed. Here's a link to the story that ran in The Monroe Evening News Dec. 17, 2006, when the program started in Lambertville: http://www.monroenews.com/apps/pbcs.dll/article?AID=/20061217/NEWS01/112170027/-1/NEWS The Angel Food program includes a lot of products that aren’t coupon-friendly.

Their website says $30 for about $60 worth of food... but for us sale shoppers & coupon users, I'm wondering how much of a savings it ends up being... looks interesting, though!
