8. How much food may I purchase?

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. (Special #1: 4lb. Steak Box or Special #2 8 - 8oz. Rib Eye Steaks for $20.00.)

9. Do I need to qualify for the program?

There are no applications or qualifications, anyone can participate. Angel Food Ministries also participates in the U.S. Food Stamp Program, using the 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”.

10. Where do I purchase the food?

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. Visit the Force Of Hope EDC link to order.

11. What if there is not a host site in my area?

Angel Food Ministries is growing rapidly. We hope to soon be able to serve the entire U.S.A. Please contact our offices and speak with our Ministry Development Department for further details.

12. How do I place an order?

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 the web-site to Angel Foods main office on what we refer to as “Call in Monday”.

13. Where do I pick up my order?

During the 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, Georgia.
