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!
