What is Angel Food Ministries?

Angel Food Ministries is a non-profit, non-denominational organization that began in 1994 and operates across the country in 32 states, providing groceries to people of all income levels. There are no income requirements, financial qualifications or applications to complete.

For $26.00, families receive an order of food valued at $50.00 to $60.00 that fits into a medium sized box. Generally, one box of food will feed a family of four for about one week or a single senior citizen for almost a month. This food is all the same quality you 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 bread and no produce that is too ripe.

This ministry is both a bargain and a blessing for those who need to stretch their food dollars each month. You can purchase a box of food for yourself or donate a box of food to someone less fortunate. You may purchase as many food boxes as you want, as often as you like.

The basic food box menu changes every month. There are also additional food specials each month that can be purchased with a basic box.

How do I order?

Orders for Angel Food Ministries are accepted in the church office Monday through Friday, 9:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m. or Sunday morning, 9:50 a.m. to 12:30 p.m. at the Registration Center in the Narthex of the church before the monthly deadline for orders.

Angel Food Volunteer Opportunities

It takes dozens of volunteers to help make this ministry a success. With everyone’s gifts and talents working together as a team, we have the opportunity to minister not only to our church members, but also to hundreds of others beyond our church walls.  We can show the world what being a Christian is all about…emulating Jesus’ love for others and helping those in need.

Angel Food offers many opportunities to be a blessing to others. Whether you are a member of the church or a member of the community, you are welcome to volunteer your services and experience the joy of serving others.
