The Chicken Was Excellent!!

“One of the items I ordered from the October menu was the 10 lb. breaded chicken box special. We picked up the order on Saturday.

For dinner tonight, I prepared a sampling of the parmesan breaded fillets and nuggets.

The chicken was excellent. In fact, I don’t believe I could have purchased any better product than the parmesan fillets anywhere….and at the price of only $21, the box was an excellent purchase.

I plan to prepare the 4 pounds of breaded frying chicken pieces for Sunday dinner!

My only regret is that I didn’t order two boxes!

I hope this will become a frequent offering in the future.

Again, thanks for all your good work at Angel Food Ministries!

I wanted to Thank

I first want to thank you for your time. I wanted to write to you and let you know how much the Angel Food Ministries has helped to repair my families life.

I have been the Manager for grocery stores in Florida, North Carolina for 6 years, and the GM for a hotel which had 2 restaurants and a bar for 2 years. I have now found myself unemployed without any income. My wife is the school nurse for our local school which the pay isn't enough to support a family of 4.

Our grocery bill was an average of $800 a month. We had to cut back greatly. My wife heard about AFM from a friend. We found out that the host site was Christ Church in our town of Deposit. The church is less than a block from our home!

We went online and ordered our first order after looking at the menu and seeing what a great selection and variety of food there is. I have purchased food for companies for 8 years and know the planning and organization it takes to do what you do. I am impressed.

I was however sceptical at first about the quality of the food. The price was right but what about the freshness, the overall quality? Well let me tell you, great! Again, I am impressed. So impressed that me, Mr. Skeptic, began to tell everyone about your company, the quality of the food, and the help that you have given me as well as thousands of others. My wife as well, a school nurse, is in contact with many people in need of better health, financial help, and the AFM help support both. She shares what the AFM provides with so many people as well.

This is such a great program for people from single parents, to struggling families, senior citizens, to the couples on the go. It provides a wide selection of healthy fruits, vegetables, dairy, meats, etc... everyone can benefit from your organization.

We now have friends from Ohio to NY sharing in the blessings that the AFM provides.

Our host site, Christ Church, is so organized, friendly, and helpful that it is a pleasure to go there and recieve not only our orders but support from the many people that donate their time to volunteer. They are a blessing themselves.

Now back to that $800 dollar a month food bill that I spoke of. With the help of the AFM my families food bill for a family of 4 has gone from $800 a month to $330 a month. That includes my monthly purchase from AFM as well as the weekly runs to the grocery store for the small supplementing needed. That to me is amazing and my family has not felt deprived of anything.

Again, I just wanted to say thank you to you, your co-workers, as well as all of the host sites for what they have been able to do for individuals and families like mine.

Many blessings to you all,
Matthew C. Russell

Angel Food Ministries’ and Valley Foods Donate Over 8,000 Meals to Hungry


Angel Food Ministries’ and Valley Foods Donate Over 8,000 Meals to Hungry
Mississippi Residents to Benefit from Angel Food’s Family Assistance Program

Jackson, Mississippi (October 16, 2009) – Angel Food Ministries (www.angelfoodministries.com), is proud to announce that host sites in the Jackson, MS area will be picking up food donated by Valley Foods to distribute to those in need in their communities. Angel Food Ministries and Valley Foods, an organization dedicated to providing affordable, high-quality food to those in need, will be donating a staggering total of 8040 meals or 840 cases.

“I heard about the food donation from Valley Food and just happened to stop by an Angel Food Ministries Host Site I was near,” explains Craig Bailey of MJR Church in Pearl, MS. “They had wanted to feed the community this week and were not sure how they were going to do it. This answered their prayers and worked out perfect. This food will reach more than 10 area host sites and 15 to 20 communities in the Jackson metropolitan area.”

“In such rough economic times, we need to be more helpful and more vigilant for problems before they arise,” states Pastor Joe Wingo, Founder and CEO of Angel Food Ministries. “Here we saw an extreme need in the Jackson, MS area; we are called to deliver, and we will. Isaiah 58:10 tells us to feed the hungry, and that is the Angel Food Mission.”

In response to current economic conditions, the demand for Angel Food’s services nationwide has increased significantly and the donation of meals to the people of Mississippi is one example of the amplified need for quality, affordable food, which is the core of Angel Food’s mission. 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 is 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 box geared towards the nutritional needs of senior citizens.

The first distribution in Jackson, Mississippi will take place on October 16th at the MJR Church (AFM HS) 422 Riverwind Drive, Pearl, MS 39208. Food distribution will begin at 11:00 AM. Angel Food Ministries’ services are for everyone, regardless of economic circumstances. There are no limits to the quantity of boxes per individual, nor are there any applications or qualifications for eligibility.

Anyone who wishes to make use of Angel Food’s services can call 1-888-819-3745 or visit www.angelfoodministries.com to find the nearest host site.

Angel Food Ministries Provides Food Relief to Florida Food Bank

Angel Food Ministries Provides Food Relief to Florida Food Bank

Pembroke Park, FL (MMD Newswire) October 14, 2009 -- This past Thursday, thousands of pounds of food stored by the Daily Bread Food Bank were destroyed in a fire that broke out Thursday night at a Lauderdale Lakes warehouse. The Daily Bread lost over 90,000 pounds of food due to the fire and smoke damage.

The Daily Bread Food Bank opened their doors in 1982. Over the past twenty-five years DBFB has been providing food for those in need and distributing to over 800 agencies across Southern Florida. DBFB is also an affiliate of Feeding America and a member of the Florida Association of Food Banks, together reaching over 600,000 people in need.

When Angel Food Ministries heard of this tragedy, they took immediate action to provide any means necessary for providing food relief to the local Ft. Lauderdale Food Bank. CEO, Pastor Joe Wingo said, "Food banks really do the work of saints, feeding those who truly wouldn't eat otherwise. When we heard the news of the fire, we were worried for the people they helped. We have no choice but to offer what we can. Together, we serve a higher good."

AFM, a non-profit, non-denominational food co-op, gathered local and national resources to provide $115,000 worth of food to DBFB. Over 40,000 meals will be delivered to provide relief to the food bank. Food Bank Director, Sonia Zumiga was overwhelmed by this donation, stating, "I am so happy because this is a great donation and it will help feed a lot of people. You do not have any idea how helpful this is. Too many people come hungry every day and we cannot feed everyone. Thank you so much, thank you, thank you!"

The 40,000 meals will be delivered on Thursday, October 15, 2009 at 11:00 AM. Sonia Zumiga will receive the food at the Daily Bread Food Bank, located at 5850 NE 32nd Ave. Miami, FL 33142. If you are interested in contacting the food bank or making a donation please call 305.633.9861or visit their website is www.dailybread.org.
