Frequently Asked Questions

Who is this ministry designed to help?

Everyone!!! This ministry is beneficial to all income levels in the form of grocery relief. No one has to qualify to order food.

Do I have to be a member of Northside Church of Christ to participate?

Absolutely not! This grocery relief is available to anyone, regardless of religion, race, gender, economic status, etc.

Where does my money go?

The $25 goes toward purchasing the food, transportation, printing costs, etc.

Do I have to commit to anything to participate?

If you choose to order a particular month, you are not obligated to order in the future. The only thing required is to pick up your food during the designated distribution time.

How can I utilize this program to help others?

There are multiple ways. You can purchase a unit of food for someone who could use assistance. By participating yourself, you reduce your current grocery budget and in turn increase your disposable income, which allows you to reallocate your money fund a better cause.

If I purchase for myself, is it taking food away from someone else?

Absolutely not! In fact, Angel Food does not make their initial purchase until they have received all orders each month from participating churches. Therefore, the more people that order, the larger quantity/bulk they purchase, and the more discount they can potentially receive.

If I purchase food as a benefit to someone else, is it tax deductible?

Individuals purchasing for someone else can declare it as a tax-deductible donation. The individual will need to maintain his or her own records. Consult a tax advisor for further details.

How often can I order?

Orders are placed and food is delivered once per month.

Is there a limit to how much I can buy?

There is no limit to the number of units or specials an individual can order. However, you must order a minimum of one $25 standard unit of food to be eligible to order any specials.

Where do I pick up my food?

Orders will be distributed from the Northside Church of Christ gymnasium.

Is the menu the same each month?

No, the menu varies due to the availability of bulk items from month to month. Also, Angel Food reserves the right to substitute any menu items due to availability, cost, and quality.

Can Northside store my items if I cannot make it to the distribution?

Unfortunately, no. Most of these items are perishable and we do not have the means to store anyone’s order. ***Any food not picked up during the designated distribution time will be donated.***

Are taxes applicable?

No, taxes will not be added to any purchase.

Can I share this opportunity with others?

Please do! Word of mouth is the best way to promote a wonderful program like this. Anyone is welcome to participate.

The Madison area is too far away. Are there churches in my area that I can order from?

How can I pay for my purchase?

You can pay with cash or with Food Stamps. Items must be paid for at the time of purchase.
