Prepaid orders must be made by mid-month and the food is usually distributed on the fourth Saturday of the month. Orders for the following month can be placed when customers pick up their boxes. There is no limit to the number of boxes that can be ordered and the program is available to people in all income levels.
Each month's menu is different. The August box includes a pound of barbecue glazed chicken wings; a two-pound rack of ribs; chicken strips; beef strips; a Banquet frozen entree; green beans; chopped spinach; roasted red-skin potatoes; yeast rolls; sliced apples; small pizzas and a dessert item.
