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.
