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.
Blessings by the box-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 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.
