We've been getting Angelfood boxes for awhile now. Until last week my hubby was unemployed for a solid year and I'm disabled but don't get any money from the government. While we didn't love everything in the boxes we were generally satisfied with the food considering our financial situation, particularly for the 6 months prior to when we were able to get food stamps. I expect to be off food stamps by next month and plan to continue getting some of the Angelfood boxes. A lot of the proteins in the box are purchased from Tyson, we also got lots of other name-brand products as well as the generic/unlabeled ones. One of our favorite items were the stuffed chicken breasts that were a Meat special one month - they were from Antioch Farms and were really great. We have since found them at a local store for more then we paid for them in our box, but sometimes they go on sale and we splurge.

As for the charity aspect - on some level, who cares. If you pay $X for the food and you think you got $X or more in value then its somewhat immaterial how much the head of the charity gets paid etc. I view it as more of a food-buying co-op then a charity at any rate, with the bonus of the church I get my boxes from is given $1 per box to fund their own food pantry and programs.
