About Angel Food
Ministries
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 44 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!
