Thanks for the info on this page. Just to let you know, One Harvest is now available in Texas.
Just wanted to give you an update regarding the states we (the Ohio Gaballi team) are now working and which are WV, KY, NY, PA, NC, SC, and IN. I can’t say for sure but it looks like the Fla. team is reaching out to GA and AL, but officially (according to Gaballi’s website) they are signing all states in the US.
If you have any questions just send me an e-mail.
Thank you and I hope you have a blessed Easter.
Thank you both! I’ve updated the list. Please keep us posted!
Working in concert with Gaballi to bring Georgia on the map!
I am not sure I would recommend them. I used them up until June of this year (FLORIDA) and they cancled the June delivery two days before it was to take place. On top of that, it took from then to just two weeks ago for them to refund the money. If they work for you great, but my family was not and still not in a position to give them a second chance.
Hello, Angela! What service did you have trouble with?
Mid America Food is NOT in Illinois.
Oh bummer! We will update the list. Thank you, Nancy.
There is another food ministry based in Derry, PA that is growing across the eastern coast founded after the fall o f Angelfood minsitries – I know it ahs been mentioned to you before and is still not on your list. HIS food ministry, check us on line at http://www.hisfoodministry.net, you won’t be disappointed!
Thanks for the info, Cindy! I’m not sure how we missed putting it on here before. Can you tell me what states it’s available in? It looks like there is a zipcode searchable map, but a list of locations would be nice. Thanks.
Quality Foods is a local grocery store chain, not a food ministry.
I’m not seeing anything for Iowa? … : /
Kacie, I’m sorry for the late reply. I found that there is a Share food program in IA. I have added it to the list.
Are there any places or organizations in the Great Falls, MT area that sale the monthly food boxes for really cheap to low income families like how the Angel Food Ministries used to do? It’s very hard to afford to buy groceries with a new baby and the economy being how it is.
Share in WI is ending. May will be their last month. I switched to Share after Angel Food shut down – now I will have to find a new place to switch to.

Are any of them working in the eastland county (texas) area that will take food stamps as payment? I really cant pay cash
Hi, Hannah,
Thanks for checking out our list! You will need to check with the food ministry in your area to see if they take food stamps.
Is there anything in Upstate NY?! closer than Syracuse? Can’t afford the petrol to drive there…..
Gamballi at City Harvest Church in Albany
Can I politely ask you folks to add Gospel Food Ministries? It’s beginning to serve in Florida (only) and no doubt will expand over time as needs become known and resources become available. http://www.gospelfoodministries.com . Thank you for all the great stuff y’all do!
Found this one today:
http://bountifulbaskets.org
Available in AZ, CO, GA, IA, ID, KS, KY, MT, ND, NE, NM, NV, OK, OR, SC, SD, TX, UT, WA, WY
I’ve used Zaycon time and time again. I think they’re wonderful
nothing in the state of maine?
It looks like Good Faith Food Box is also closing. It’s such a shame as Angel Food and another program like this would be a real help to us. Still looking for options in NYC/NJ area.
Anything in CT? I see Zaycon serves us but Windsor is so far away.
lynn little, zaycon is in danbury too.im getting chicken on the 30th. you still have time to order.
You can now add HOPE FOR THE MID SOUTH to your alternatives. Most of us are former AFM Ministers of Outreach and Sites. Our area of coverage is North Mississippi and West Tennessee, especially Memphis area. Our menus and contact information can be found on Facebook at HOPE FOR THE MID SOUTH, 888-926-4592 Info Line. Just finished Sept. orders and Oct. menu should be up within the week. Plans are for shelf stable boxes as well for after school, homeless, and emergency preparedness. I know you are up on the EP products and we want that here as well. Preparing for holidays now. Thanks. God Bless!

HOPE FOR THE MID SOUTH now has the shelf stable boxes available for Nov. and Dec., similar to AFM No Child Goes Without. There are also several other ministries that use our same vendors. https://familytablefoodministries.com/ is in Georgia and other states.
Zaycon foods is great and though not exactly like Angel Food or any of the other options, Aldi grocery store has really great prices. http://www.aldi.us/index_ENU_HTML.htm
Does anyone know of anything in Hawaii, we live on oahu
Supreme Outreach has host sites in GA, SC, NC and AL and adding more all the time. Go to http://www.supremeoutreach.com for a host site near you or for information on becoming a host site. Their telephone number is (770) 965-1170. I found their page on Facebook. They are using a model similar to Angel Foods and I have been very impressed with the boxes they have provided. Definitely worth checking into!!!
Be warned: I tried to order from Gaballi last month and my order was cancelled the night before it was to be delivered (literally at midnight I got the email). They claimed there wasn’t enough orders for my host site. I asked several times for a refund and was given the run around. After several weeks, I finally had to put in a dispute of the charge with my bank. I will never try them again.
