Gravel Run Baptist Church

Angel Food Ministries is a non-profit, non-denominational organization dedicated to providing grocery relief
and financial support to communities throughout the United States. The program began in 1994 with 34 families
in Monroe, Georgia (between Atlanta and Athens), and has grown to serve hundreds of thousands of families
every month across 35 states. Angel Food Ministries crosses denominational lines and has spread the good news
of the gospel of Christ through salvation tracts that are placed in each food order.

Blessings by the Box

Angel Food is available in a quantity that can fit into a medium-sized box at $30 per unit. Each month's menu is
different than the previous month and consists of both fresh and frozen items with an average retail value of approximately $60. Comparison shopping has been done across the country in various communities using a wide
range of retail grocery stores and has resulted in the same food items costing from between $42 and $78.

Generally, one unit of food assists in feeding a family of four for about one week or a single senior citizen for
almost a month. The food is all the same high quality one could purchase at a grocery store. There are no
second-hand items, no damaged or out-dated goods, no dented cans without labels, no day-old breads and no
produce that is almost too ripe.

Also offered are specialty boxes such as steaks, chicken and pork. Many participants in this bonus program
appreciate the expanded choices. Additionally, there is no limit to the number of units or bonus foods an
individual can receive, and there are no applications to complete or qualifications to which participants must
adhere. Angel Food Ministries also participates in the U.S. Food Stamp program, using the Off-Line Food
Stamp Voucher system.

It's Both a Bargain and a Blessing!

Orders and distribution are handled by church host sites. Orders are collected by the host sites during the
first part of each month (See this month menu above for our order collection dates). These orders are then
turned in to the Angel Food main office in Monroe, Georgia, on a predetermined date. Several days later, in the
same month, the host site either picks up the food from Angel Food's 160,000 square feet warehouse to fill the
orders on Distribution Day or, because this ministry is growing nationwide, food is delivered to the host site by a
pre-arranged delivery mode. In most cases, as long as there is a truck headed in the direction of a community who
wants this program and sees its ministry influence, there are no extra transportation costs.

By buying food from first rate suppliers at substantial volume discounts, Angel Food Ministries is able to provide
families with approximately $65 worth of quality nutritious food for $30. Angel Food Ministries does not use
out-of-date food or inferior products.
