Feed Your Family For Only $30 a Week… Seriously?

We can all use a little help making ends meet, and I just found out about a great way to stretch your grocery dollars through our friend Pastor Darrell from the Christ Community Church. He shared with me a program called The Treasure Box, which provides a box full of food that can feed a family of 4 for almost a  week for only $30. This is a great program which doesn’t have any restrictions in order to participate. You can purchase more than one box per month, and the quality of food is amazing. Here is how the program works:

The Treasure Box provides families and individuals with a substantial box of grocery store quality food retailing between $65-100 for just $30 each. The Treasure Box cultivates relationships with more than 500 major food manufacturers across the country to purchase and provide top quality, nutritious food at sizeable volume discounts to the general public.

Each Treasure Box contains between 21-25 pounds of high quality, frozen foods, including chicken, pork, beef, or seafood, as well as vegetables, fruit, a side dish and a dessert. One Treasure Box is enough food to nutritiously feed a family of four lunch and dinner for almost a week or a senior citizen for nearly a month.

Wonder what you get for only $30? Here is an example of the November Treasure Box:
•    3-3.5 lbs. Whole Chicken
•    2 lbs. Boneless Ham Slices
•    2 lbs. Turkey & Pork Breakfast Sausage Links
•    1.625 lbs. Old Fashioned Beef Meatloaf
•    1 lb. Ground Turkey
•    40 oz. Macaroni & Cheese
•    1 pkg. Orange Clove Glaze
•    1.4 lbs. Hash Brown Patties
•    1 lb. Frozen Peas
•    1 lb. Frozen Green Beans
•    1 lb. Frozen Corn
•    1 lb. Buttermilk Biscuit Mix
•    1 each Dessert

That is a lot of food for only $30! To participate, you can contact The Treasure Box through their website and pay with a credit card, or from the Christ Community Church (cash/check) or from Walker Elementary PTA (cash/check). This is an amazing organization and program that can benefit anyone in our community, whether they are in a financial hardship or not. When people come to pick up their Treasure Box each month, you can see the smiles on their faces and know this program is working.

Orders can be made each month, as there is only one delivery made each month. There is a cut-off date for the current month, and for the November 21st shipment, the cut-off date is November 8. Don’t delay and miss out on such a great deal. They also have a Holiday Treasure Box available that features a whole turkey and all the fixings!
