Angel Food Ministries Offers a Helping Hand for Families in New Bern
Foundation Life Fellowship, New Bern, NC — Angel Food Ministries, an organization dedicated to providing affordable, high-quality food to those in need, has been offering relief and joy to families in New Bern and the surrounding area since August 28, 2007.
In response to current economic conditions, there is a greater need for the expansion of Angel Food’s services both nationwide and to the people of New Bern, NC. Foundation Life Fellowship is but one example of dedicated non-profit, non-denominational organizations and churches throughout the country striving to meet the growing need for quality, affordable food, which is the core of Angel Food’s mission.
Angel Food Ministries (www.angelfoodministries.com) is itself a non-profit, non-denominational organization dedicated to providing financial support in the form of food relief to communities throughout the United States. Established in 1994 to provide relief for struggling families in the Monroe, GA area, Angel Food Ministries today serves hundreds of thousands of families across 42 states, recently welcoming Nevada to the roster where Angel Food’s benefits can be realized. Since inception, Angel Food Ministries has fed more than 22 million Americans. In 2008, AFM provided $120 million in direct food assistance to American families.
Angel Food provides individuals and families with fresh, brand name food for a fraction of the retail price. By purchasing food in bulk, directly from some of the top suppliers in the country, food can then be discounted by up to 50 percent of retail. A standard medium-sized box of food may be purchased for $30, and contains top quality food staples from every food group, including chicken or beef, milk, eggs, vegetables and fruits. Each of the regular boxes of food feeds a family of four for about one week or a single individual for almost a month. The menu selections vary each month, and consist of both fresh and frozen items, saving Americans money with no sacrifice to quality. There is even a nutritional box geared towards people on the go.
Angel Food Ministries’ service is available to anyone. There are no income requirements, restrictions or forms to fill out. This food relief program is open to one and all and we participate in the “SNAP Food Stamp Voucher” program. There are no limits to the quantity of boxes per individual, nor are there any applications or qualifications for eligibility. If you like to save over 50% on groceries, this program is for you.
