What is Angel Food?

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 thousands of families every month across 17 states.  Angel Food Ministries crosses denominational lines and has spread the good news of the gospel of Christ.

Angel Food's groceries are sold in a quantity that can fit into a medium-sized box at low cost per box.  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 $50.00.  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 about a month.  The food is all the same high quality one would purchase at a grocery store.  There are no second-hand itmes, 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 whic 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.
