Angel Food Ministries

 

  

 

 

 

 

Angel Food Ministries is a non-profit, non denominational organization dedicated to providing food relief to communities throughout the USA.

 

A "Signature" box of Angel Food can be purchased for $30 and includes items such as filet mignon, boneless pork chops, fresh fruit, frozen vegetables and a dessert.

 

Depending on your location, a box retails anywhere from $45 to $75 with an average retail value of right around $60.

 

An average box of food weighs around 21 lbs. The weight may differ each month. A box of food assists in feeding a family of four for about one week, or a single senior citizen for almost a month.

 

Because of Angel Foods involvement with only the best producers and venders our products are high quality, “name brand” foods - never “seconds” or “day old type” products. Each month’s food menu consists of both fresh and frozen items.

Angel Food Ministries produces a monthly menu to inform customers of what food items will be available a full month in advance.

 

There is no limit on the number of boxes an individual or family may purchase. Angel Food Ministries also offers the purchase of one or more “Special Units” when buying a regular box of food. The “Specials” are mostly savings on meat boxes. (Examples: Special #1:

 

There are no applications or qualifications and anyone can participate. Angel Food Ministries also participates in the U.S. Food Stamp Program, using the EBT Off-Line Food stamp Voucher system. This ensures that the needy in your area are getting the maximum value for their grocery dollar, usually resulting in their receiving twice the amount of quality foods for their “food stamp dollar.”

 

Food sales and distribution are handled by the local host sites. Most host sites are churches but other organizations such as The Salvation Army, VFW’s, and The Boy Scouts of America have participated.  In Lake Wales, The First United Methodist Church is a host site. Contact Debbie 863-696-0127 or Toni 863-696-2480 for more information.

 

Orders and payments are collected by each individual host site during the first part of each month. The orders are then phoned, faxed, or place through our web-site to the Angel Foods main office.  Orders may now be conveniently placed online at the link above, using a credit card or debit card, and picked up as usual. There is a $2.00 convenience charge for this service, which does not exceed AngelFood's actual bank expenses for use of a credit or debit card. 

 

During the next week, called “Distribution Week”, Angel Food Ministries begin loading the trucks that are scheduled to arrive at the host sites on what we call “Distribution Saturday”. Along with the many trucks that go out from our warehouse about 200 local host sites pick up their food Saturday morning from our facility in Monroe.

 

Since January 1995, over 8.1 million families have been affected by Angel Food Ministries. In December of 2007 Angel Food Ministries distributed food to over 2.5 million people in one distribution. 547,000 boxes of food left our warehouse within a three day period, and we are still growing.

 

 Angel Food Ministries has a network of more than 4,700 host sites. An army of over 45,000 volunteers distribute boxes of food each month. Each month AFM receives over 250 new host site applications.

 

We have a dual distribution each month except for November and December due to the holidays. The states are divided by Distribution A and Distribution B. A distribution schedule is available for host sites.

 

Angel Food Ministries distributes between 400,000 to 500,000 units per month.

 

Angel Food Ministries is currently in 35 states. To find a Host Site location, search our Host Site Locator on the Angel Food Ministries website at www.angelfoodministries.com.
