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: https://www.angelfoodministries.com, along with on-line ordering information.
