Angel Food Ministries is a non-profit, non-denominational food program dedicated to providing food assistance to families throughout the United States. Angel Food was started in 1994 by Pastor Joe Wingo and his family with the original intent of helping out their neighbors in a small rural community in Northeast Georgia where many textile mills closed. Today, Angel Food has expanded into 35 states and helps close to 500,000 people. To make this a vital program in our church all you need to do is participate, or call Philomena Bagger 934-0234 or email her at rbagger@roadrunner.com for answers to your questions and for further information. There are no application or pre-qualifiers to participate in the Angel Food program and participating is easy. Every month Angel Food creates a wonderful menu of both fresh and frozen food items at a cost of $30 for one box of food that will feed a family of four for about a week and a single person for close to a month. There is no limit on the number of boxes an individual or family can purchase. The food will be picked up at a host site and brought to our church for pick up by you.
