Nazarene Church- Fighting Hunger

November 19, 2008

NATIONAL HUNGER AND HOMELESS AWARENESS WEEK

NOVEMBER 16-22

The Bradford First Church of the Nazarene is recognizing Hunger and Homeless Awareness Week by offering residents of our community a way to stretch their grocery dollars. Bradford Nazarene Church is an outlet for Angel Food Ministries and has been involved with this for two years. Angel Food Ministries is a non-profit, non-denominational organization dedicated to providing food relief in communities throughout the United States. 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. Generally, one box of Angel Food assists in feeding a family of four for about one week or a single senior citizen for almost a month. Angel Food Ministries does not use out-of-date food or inferior products.

Each month’s menu is different and consists of fresh, frozen, and packaged food. Angel Food is purchased from the nation’s top food suppliers. Providing quality, nutritious food at significant discounts on a regular basis is one practical way to give people a “hand up” during difficult times. There is no purchase limit for boxes of Angel Food. There are no applications or qualifications necessary to purchase it. To better help families in need, Angel Food Ministries participates in the Food Stamp Program. EBT orders are taken at the Bradford church Monday nights from 5-7 pm.

Each month, Angel Food Ministries also offers “specialty boxes” of steak, chicken, pork, or other foods. This bonus program affords participants additional food choices at a great value. There is no purchase limit for specialty boxes or bonus foods. Angel Food is a program open to one and all with no restrictions or conditions.

Monthly menus/order forms can be obtained at the Bradford Nazarene Church at 55 North Bennett St. or downloaded from their website: bradfordnazarene.org
