How can Angel Food provide so much high quality food for only $30?
That is a question many ask when they first hear about Angel Food @ Liquid and Angel Food National.

On the heels of that question, a sage warning from your grandmother might be whispered in your mind, "Honey, look out. If it sounds too good to be true, it probably is!"

Well, grandparents around the country have thoroughly looked into the facts, tried the product and decided, “Angel Food really is good and it’s really true.” We can say that with certainty because 60 percent of Angel Food recipients are senior citizens.

So, here are a number of important facts that will help you understand what is involved in providing top quality Angel Food at a greatly reduced cost.

ANGEL FOOD IS FOCUSING ITS BUYING POWER ON “THE CENTER OF THE PLATE”
AFM offers only the very best deals they can get for the most-needed food items. While a box of Angel Food is packed with variety—we primarily focus on quality and providing a nutritious protein-rich menu. Angel Food strives to enhance the “center of the plate” which means 36 percent of a regular box of Angel Food contains beef, chicken, other meat items and dinner entrees.

“Specials” include: meat boxes, boxes of pre-cooked meals, and a fruit and vegetable box. We are always looking for more ways to meet the needs of families by adding a greater variety of special offers.

AFM IS PROVIDING CONSISTENT, STABLE PRICES IN A RADICALLY FLUCTUATING ECONOMY
AFM stretches your food dollar by negotiating with vendors, and committing to purchase huge quantities of food up to a year in advance. That means the Angel Food you receive this month may have been purchased before the seeds were planted or while the chickens were still in the eggs. Anyone who has watched the price of bread or meat fluctuate will understand the importance of AFM’s ability to give you last year’s prices in this year’s market.

VOLUNTEERS PROVIDE THE LABOR—AND IT’S A LABOR OF LOVE FOR THEIR NEIGHBORS
Instead of paid grocery clerks boxing up groceries and collecting money as you check out of a store, church and civic volunteers distribute Angel Food as a service to help the folks in their communities. Each box of Angel Food comes with a blessing for the family and also for the community. For each Angel Food box distributed, $1 goes back into the church’s benevolent fund to further help the community. What a deal!

ANGEL FOOD PREFERS TO SPEND MORE ON PRODUCT AND LESS ON PACKAGING
Rather than spending on elaborate packaging, AFM private labels many products and features only the USDA requirements and nutritional facts. This enables more quantity and quality food to go into each package. Angel Food is purchased from the very best vendors in the food industry. General Mills, ConAgra, Pilgrim’s Pride, Nestle and Tyson are only a few of the names you might readily recognize.

OTHER THINGS YOU MIGHT LIKE TO KNOW:
~ We stringently inspect plants we use to ensure that Angel Food is the highest quality.
~ No donated food is ever placed into the food boxes you receive.
~ Occasionally AFM receives donated food to help feed America’s hungry. We transport (free of charge) all donated items directly to food banks, shelters or other outreaches.
~ AFM deals in volume to help families nationwide. We use sound principles of business to leverage the food dollars of as many as 500,000 families a month. Over the years, AFM has built strong relationships with top-ranking suppliers in the food industry. We have an excellent reputation.

“We love to work with family-owned and operated businesses,” said Pastor Joe. “What may begin as a close working relationship with our vendors often evolves into a strong friendship and partnership. Our suppliers give us the best prices because they too want to help the American people get the nutrition they need. In essence, they partner with us in the mission of Angel Food.”
 

At Angel Food Ministries, we don’t believe big business is a problem in today’s hunger challenges; instead, by working closely with the largest suppliers in the industry, AFM is making big business a part of the solution for hungry Americans.

The purchase of Angel Food will never replace the need for grocery stores. “We support local grocers,” assured Pastor Joe Wingo. “Angel Food is distributed only once a month as a help to the monthly budget of Americans. We are not in competition with grocery stores. AFM provides only food items. Folks will still need to patronize grocery stores. We wholeheartedly support local grocery stores.”

AFM also is working toward making local grocery coupons available to Angel Food recipients. Watch for it!

So, how can Angel Food provide a box of food with so much protein for just $30?
