1. What is Angel Food?
Angel Food Ministries is a non-profit, non-denominational organization dedicated to providing grocery relief and financial support to communities throughout the United States. Friendship and its members serve as distributors to Knoxville for the organization.

2. Where is it from?
The program began with 34 families in Monroe, Georgia (between Atlanta and Athens) in 1994, and has grown to serve thousands of families every month across 17 states.

3. What kind of food do I get with my purchase?
Angel Food's groceries are sold in a quantity that can fit into a medium sized box at $25.00 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 $50. 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.

Sample Menu
1 package chicken nuggets
4 8-oz hamburger steaks
4 6-oz pork chops
1.5 lb. thick bacon
1 dozen eggs

4. Is the food good quality?
The food is all the same high quality one would 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.

5. Is there a limit to what I can buy?
