Angel Food Ministries is a non-profit,
non-denominational organization dedicated to providing
food relief and financial support to communities
throughout the United States. The program began in 1994
with 34 families in Monroe, Georgia (between Atlanta and
Athens), and has grown to serve hundreds of thousands of
families every month across 35 states. Angel Food
Ministries crosses denominational lines and has spread
the good news of the gospel of Christ through salvation
tracts that are placed in each food order.
Blessings by the box
Angel Food is available in a quantity that can fit
into a medium-sized box at $30 per unit. Each month's
menu is different than the previous month and consists
of both fresh and frozen items with an average retail
value of approximately $60. Comparison shopping has been
done across the country in various communities using a
wide range of retail grocery stores and has resulted in
the same food items costing from between $42 and $78.
Generally, one unit of food assists in feeding a
family of four for about one week or a single senior
citizen for almost a month. The food is all the same
high quality one could purchase at a grocery store.
There are no second-hand items, no damaged or out-dated
goods, no dented cans without labels, no day-old breads
and no produce that is almost too ripe.
Also offered are specialty boxes such as steaks,
chicken and pork. Many participants in this bonus
program appreciate the expanded choices. Additionally,
there is no limit to the number of units or bonus foods
an individual can receive, and there are no applications
to complete or qualifications to which participants must
adhere. Angel Food Ministries also participates in the
U.S. Food Stamp program, using the Off-Line Food Stamp
Voucher system.
It's both a Bargain and a Blessing!
