Does anyone know what's going on with Angel Food Ministries? This morning I was all set to place my first order with them. When I tried to access the Web site to get a link to a local distributing church, I noticed their press release that stated the FBI is investigating them but they have done nothing wrong. I'm concerned about using my debit card to order the basic box plus a box of vegetables/fruits, and a box of chicken.
What has been your experience with this organization. Is it too good to be true?

I have been buying food from the Angel Food Ministries for the past few years. I've never had a problem with them. I do go through my local site and order directly from them. When I go pick up the food on the pick-up dates they even put it into my car for me! :)
I know it's been saving us money on groceries in the past. It's been a godsend since I became a single mom! If you do order through a local site you might want to see how they want to be paid for it. Some churches take checks/cash/food stamps while others will only take cash or food stamps. The one I go to won't take debit cards.
If you have any questions about my experiences with it, feel free to email me at taxgirl2007@yahoo.com
Thanks, Martha. Our local distributing church allows us to order online using debit cards. I was just afraid that the organization was going to shut down before I got my food. I don't know what the FBI investigation is all about. I guess I'll give it try.

Here are some articles about the incident with the FBI, not sure how it will affect the ministries in the future, but for right now they're operating on schedule. The articles all say that it's not affecting the food distribution part of it.
