Angel Food Ministry
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, 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.

Who qualifies? Everyone, there are no applications or qualifications
to order Angel Food.
Where does the food come from? The food is 'restaurant grade' meats, frozen
vegetables, fruits, dairy products, etc. which are acquired through involvement
with only the best producers/vendors of high quality, 'name brand' foods.
'Sseconds” or “day old” type products are NEVER used.
Can we purchase more than one unit or special? Yes, you can purchase as many regular units as you would like. To purchase a special box you must first order a regular unit.
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 $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. 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.
