Angel Food Ministries is a
non-profit, non-denominational organization
dedicated to providing grocery relief to
communities throughout the United States.
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. 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 not 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.
