Great Food For All

Have you heard about Great Food For All?

At a time when costs are on the rise and families are wondering if they will be able to meet this month’s budget, there is hope! Great Food For All, a company with its national office in Newton Falls, Ohio is offering top quality food to anyone interested at a greatly discounted price.  There are no requirements to participate in the program.

The program operates primarily through local churches, while there are some other groups such as 4-H clubs and local Fire departments offering the service as well.

This is How It Works: Interested parties place and pre-pay for their food order at designated times at any of the program's Host Sites. Then, on a designated Saturday morning the food arrives at the Host Sites and the customers pick up their food order at the site where they ordered. The program offers several “Boxes” of food each month. The "Basic Food Box," which anchors the program, contains from $80 to $100 worth of food for a fixed price of only $30.

The “menu” for the box changes each month, and additional “Value Packs" such as Senior Meals, Breakfast Boxes, Kids Boxes, Grill Boxes and others, are available as well. The menu for these boxes also rotates. Host Sites accept Cash, Visa, MC, or Foods Stamps (EBT Card) for payment. The food comes to the Host Sites pre-boxed and frozen. Food pick-up is convenient and hassle-free.

Churches or other groups interested in providing the service to their communities may contact GFFA at (330) 872-0155.
