HOPE

where there’s hope
there’s Angel Food Ministries
Hunger is a very real problem in this nation — each year over
thirty five million
Americans face life without adequate food. With today’s economic
challenges, many
ordinary families have fallen on hard times and just need a
little help to make ends
meet while they get back on their feet. That’s where Angel Food
Ministries
can make the difference. Angel Food is a nationwide program
offering
low cost food relief to anyone in need.
If you or someone you know needs help — Angel Food is here for
you.

During this past
year, Marlene and I learned about ministry called 'Angel Foods'
which was started fifteen years ago by a married couple who were
pastors. When a number of their congregation members were
impacted by local plant closings in
Georgia, they began to offer,
at a discount, a package of quality food. This package was
intended to have sufficient food to feed a family of four about
one week. Since this ministry's inception, it has now grown
whereby it feeds over 500,000 families in thirty five states.
As this area (Greater Birmingham-Bloomfield) is now experiencing
an historical down turn in the automotive industry with a large
number of employees being laid off, Marlene and I decided to
join the 40,000 existing volunteers who promote and distribute
'Angel Foods'. As host sites for this program are local
churches, we got the support of Pastor Jon to pursue this
program. During this past week, we were notified that our
application to be a host site had been approved.
Unlike many other programs, this ministry has no income
restrictions, is non-denominational and requires no
qualifications to place a food order. A basic food package sells
for $30 with specialty packages selling in the $20 - $30 range.
Food can be purchased on-line, or paid for with cash, money
orders and food stamps. The food is distributed once a month
(Fourth Saturday) with pre-paid orders being taken generally on
the second Wednesday and Sunday of the month. Food can also be
ordered for the subsequent month during the Saturday
distribution date.
Both the order taking and food distribution will occur at the
north end of the church in the area just beside the
Life Center
(gymnasium).
We wish to promote this program that has the potential to offer
hope and assist many in our area to make ends meet during these
difficult economic times. Whether or not you desire to
participate in this program, no doubt there is someone you know
that would benefit by the 'Angel Foods' ministry. So please
forward this information to them. More information on this
ministry can be found at:

ordering information.
