With a heart to help others and a
generous
spirit, Joe and Linda Wingo founded Angel Food Ministries in 1994 to provide
food for friends and
neighbors who were struggling financially. Today the Angel Food program now is helping provide food relief to more than 500,000 families each
month.
Angel Food Ministries is a
non-profit, non-denominational organization dedicated to providing food
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 44 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 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 $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 $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 could 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 receive, and there are no applications to
complete or
qualifications to which participants must adhere. Angel Food
Ministries also participates in the U.S. Food Stamp program, using the
Off-Line
Food Stamp Voucher system.
It's Both a Bargain and a Blessing!
