HISTORY OF ANGEL
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 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.
