November Coupon Codes!! October 28, 2009

Angel Food Ministries is Happy to inform everyone that the new November Coupons are ready. The online coupons are “Turkey5″ which gives 5% off the “Signature Box” of Angel Food. The other coupon code is “NOVSP2″ which gives 5% off the “Special Meat Box #2″. These coupons are limited to the first 2000 users and will expire at the end of NOVEMBER. Happy Holidays!

Don’t delay, these will go FAST!  Also, the ordering period is a little shorter, ending on November 11th, with Distribution Day being November 21st, due to the Thanksgiving Holiday.

Online ordering is already in effect, and you can see the ordering days for Live Oak Baptist on the menu page.  It appears that the expected deadline of November 12th has been moved up…it is now November 11th!  Don’t miss out!

September Ordering Has Ended September 19, 2009

The extended ordering period for September has ended.  We saw a great response from our host site participants!  We had about 40 more units ordered before the cutoff on Friday!

That’s exciting!  From what I’m hearing, this longer ordering period may be a new policy for Angel Food Ministries.  Meaning we may have this extra week for orders every single month!  If so, then you could order on cut off Friday morning and a week and 1 day later, get your food.  That will help a lot of people, I’m sure.  It’s hard to pay for food weeks in advance and wait on the distribution date.  This should ease that burden.

I’m hoping to have our October flier ready by Monday.  I’ve had a good bit on my plate these last few days, usually I have it ready by now.

Bear with me, please! 

September Ordering Deadline EXTENDED! September 16, 2009

Angel Food Ministries has been working to improve the experience you have with us,  and we have been listening to the suggestions of our host sites and customers.  We know that these days people may be having a more difficult time paying for their food in advance, even with the value offered through Angel Food.  To address this, we have decided to try extending the ordering deadline for specific host sites, including Live Oak Baptist, until Friday, September 18 at 12 Noon EST. This will give you more time to decide, leaving just a week between paying and receiving the food.

That’s right, you now have until Friday, the 18th, at 11pm Central Time to get your order in online for September.  So if you were waiting on payday, or just forgot the deadline was here, this is your chance!  This was short notice for our host site, as well, so unfortunately, I will not be taking any orders in person, due to scheduling issues.  Only online orders can be taken this time, but I will re-think the in-person ordering dates for October’s Menu.

AFM – Planned Website Outage Tuesday, September 8th September 5, 2009

Angel Food Ministries is going to be doing some needed work to upgrade our computer network. The purpose of these modifications is to ensure that the websites and other systems have redundancies in place.

Please note that this will cause some planned network and website outages on an intermittent basis. We are not taking the website down completely so that during the times we are live, we will still be able to receive orders.

The outages may be experienced between the hours of 9-5 Eastern Time this Tuesday, September 8th.

Senior Farmer’s Market Nutrition Coupons Still Available – Louisiana August 25, 2009

Louisiana Department of Agriculture and Forestry www.ldaf.louisiana.gov Senior Farmers Market Nutrition Coupons Still Available Baton Rouge: While more than 13,500 Senior Farmers Market Nutrition Program (FMNP) coupon booklets have already been mailed to senior citizens this year, there are still funds available for the program, Agriculture and Forestry Commissioner Mike Strain D.V.M., said. “We want all seniors that think they may qualify for the program to sign-up with their local Council on Aging office,” Strain said. “This is an opportunity for senior citizens to receive a little help with their grocery bill.” To participate, a person must be at least 60-years-old and earn less than 185 percent of poverty level. Strain said for a one-person household, the annual household income level should be $20,036 or less, the annual household income level in a two person household should be $26,955 or less. Seniors who qualify will receive a booklet of five $4-coupons totaling $20, which may be used only to buy fresh fruits, vegetables, cut herbs and honey approved by the FMNP from approved farmers at farmers markets and roadside stands. The coupons must be redeemed by Nov. 30, 2009. Seniors who receive commodities through the USDA – Food for Seniors Program; those who have a Letter of Eligibility for the Louisiana Purchase Card (food stamps); those who have a Letter of Eligibility for Supplemental Security Income (SSI); or those who receive Medicaid are pre-qualified for the Senior Farmers Market Nutrition Program. Strain said all seniors, even those who pre-qualify, must sign-up with a local Council on Aging office to apply for the program. For more information about the Farmers Market Nutrition Program, call (985) 345-9483. Department of Agriculture and Forestry http://www.ldaf.state.la.us/portal/News/ PressReleaseCurrent/tabid/92/itemid/1340/Default.aspx This is posted from an email I received.  As far as I know, these coupons can NOT be used for the Angel Food fruit and vegetable special, only for purchases with approved farmers, farmers, markets, and approved roadside vendors.  Please call them directly or visit their website if you have questions.
