Angel Food Ministries is a non-profit,
non-denominational organization dedicated to providing grocery 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 32 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.
Angel Food's groceries are sold 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 $50. 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. We have now included a 'Senior Box' which has
been developed with dietary needs of senior citizens in mind. We have also
just recently added 'Allergen-Free' and 'Seafood Box' to the
menu. The food is all the same high quality one would 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 purchase, and there are
no applications to complete or qualifications to which participants must
adhere. Angel Food Ministries, like most all other retail grocery stores,
also participates in the U.S. Food Stamp program, using the Off-Line Food
Stamp Voucher system.
As you can see by our pictures, we have
recently incorporated several 'little red wagons' to help us with loading
participants food items.
