If this is not possible, just show your ID when you pick up your order. We just want to make sure the right person gets their order.
- What if I am unable to pick up my order? Can someone else pick it up for me?
- Yes, they can as long as they have your original receipt. If they do not have your original receipt and they are not the person that ordered it, then we cannot distribute the food.
- What happens if I don't show up to pick up my order? Will you hold it for me?
- Much of the food in your order is frozen. We do not have facilities to keep it. If you do not come to get it and we cannot reach you to make mutually satisfactory arrangements, we will donate your food to families that need it. This is the policy recommended by the national Angelfood Ministry organization. If you communicate with us, we will try to be helpful. We want you to get the food you order!
Donating Food
- Donating food to families that need it sounds like a good thing. Can I do that?
- Yes. You can purchase food and distribute it to anyone you know who needs it, or donate it to the church and we will make sure that it goes to a family who needs it. There are plenty of families who need a helping hand during these times.
