Hi there. You’re probably here looking for food assistance through Angel Food Ministries. Unfortunately, Angel Food Ministries is closed nationwide and will not reopen. Many regional, food-buying programs similar to what AFM was do exist and I’ve posted links to some I have found below.
These companies are generally considered to be bulk food buying programs, of which there are three common types: Food Box Programs, Food Cooperatives, and Bulk Buying Clubs. They all have the same basic purpose: to get nutritious food to people at a lower than retail cost.
