Angel Food distributions in Lyon County are done through the Emporia Church of the Nazarene, 2931 W. 24th Ave.; Grace United Methodist Church, 2 S. Neosho St.; Emporia Presbyterian Church, 802 Commercial St.; and Americus Presbyterian Church in Americus.
This month, a new “allergen-free” food box will be added to the growing list of boxes available to the public.
The regular box, at $30, will contain ribeye steaks, split chicken breasts, country fried steak patties, 80/20 ground beef, fully cooked meatballs, mild Italian sausage, deli-sliced ham, California blend vegetables, green beans, shoestring fries, pasta, marinara sauce, condensed soup, pinto beans, 2 percent shelf-stable milk, one dozen eggs, and dessert.
The senior convenience box, with 10 fully cooked, nutritionally balanced meals, will contain these entrees: barbecue pork rib patty, red beans and rice with smoked sausage, home-style meatloaf with zesty tomato sauce, Asian-style pork fried rice, peppered beef patty, flame-broiled Salisbury steak with brown gravy, chicken sausage with seasoned baked beans, pot roast and gravy with vegetables, chicken and bean burrito with cheesy sauce, and char-broiled beef meatballs with rice and gravy. Each meal will include three ounces of protein, a starch, and two vegetables or fruits.
The allergen-free food has been processed to eliminate eight allergens: peanuts, soybeans, milk, eggs, fish, crustacea, tree nuts and gluten (wheat, rye and barley).
The box will contain one pound each of coated chicken tenders, coated breast fillets, coated chicken nuggets, coated chicken wings and coated cubed steak (chicken-fried steak).
