Food sales and distribution are handled by church host sites.  Orders and payment collected by the host sites during the first part of each month, them turned in to the Angel Food main office in Monroe, Georgia on a predetermined date.  The following week the host sites picks up or receives the food from Angel Food’s warehouse to fill the orders on the distribution day.  In some cases, food can be delivered to the host site.  Angel Food Ministries donates money form each box sold to the host church

THE MINISTRY

On distribution day, church volunteers come together to perform duties ranging from setting up and filling boxes to clean up or assisting disabled or elderly customers by carrying their boxes to their cars.  Most host sites do not deliver to their community; customers are urged to pick up their food at the host site location, bringing their own boxes or baskets to be filled.

THE VALUE

Angel Food’s groceries are sold by the box at $30.00 per unit.  Each months menu consists of both fresh and frozen items with an average retail of approximately $42.00 - $78.00.  One box of food assist 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 you would purchase at a grocery store – not damaged or out dated goods.

There is no limit to the number of boxes an individual can purchase, and there are no applications or qualifications.  Because Angel Food Ministries is a non-profit organization, food purchased to donate to someone in need may be fully tax-deductible as a charitable donation.  Angel Food Ministries also participates in the U.S. Food Stamp program, using the Off-Line Food Stamp Voucher system.
