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
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 $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 $52 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 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.
How the Program works
Food sales and distribution are handled by church host sites. Orders and
payments are collected by the host sites during the first part of each month.
These orders are then turned in to the Angel Food main office in Monroe,
Georgia, on a predetermined date. Several days later, in the same month, the
host site either picks up the food from Angel Food's 160,000 square feet
warehouse to fill the orders on Distribution Day or, because this ministry is
growing nationwide, food is delivered to the host site by a pre-arranged
delivery mode. In most cases, as long as there is a truck headed in the
direction of a community who wants this program and sees its ministry influence,
there are no extra transportation costs.
