Angel Food Ministries is a non-profit, non-denominational organization that offers food relief in locations across the country by buying from first rate suppliers at substantial volume discounts. Each month, for $30, a basic menu of items is provided which would be worth about twice as much if purchased in a regular grocery store. Purchases of optional specialty packages may also be added to an order, once a basic menu has been requested.
Angel Food Ministries requires no proof of low income and no application process for anyone to qualify. There is no membership fee, and there is no obligation to purchase on an ongoing basis. The program is open to all, and how often you order and how many boxes of Angel Food you request are entirely up to you. You simply find a local host near you, sign up and pay there the month before, and bring a large box or cooler along with your receipt on pickup day. Angel Food Ministries accepts cash, money orders, and food stamps.

 What Is a Basican Wayshelter? It is a meeting point, place of worship, spiritual safe haven, and cultural resource specifically for Basicans but where people of all faiths are welcome. It can also be a Website or a simple gathering of Basicans and similarly interested others that serves as many of these purposes as are needed or desired. Individual Basicans are free to choose whether or not to attend or be associated with one or more available wayshelters as part of their practice. Who Is a Shelterkeep? That person is a Basican who is host and custodian of a Basican wayshelter. As such, she or he is a facilitator of discussion and spiritual practices and a point person, leader, or performer of relevant duties where one is called for. Such an individual takes on a spiritually supportive role and attitude towards all persons, wherever appropriate. How Is a Wayshelter Funded? That may vary, if any funding is necessary at all. In any case, a wayshelter's purpose is not to generate a profit. |
This Website is the first Basican wayshelter of any kind in operation.
It currently exists online only. It is paid for out of my own pocket and designed almost as though it existed in my own private home: it is an outgrowth of my personal Website, set up by my own initiative.
