Vision Sharing the Gospel of Jesus Christ by ministering to the needs of
people by providing food relief to communities and financial support to
churches and ministries throughout the United States.
It is exciting to know that in every box of food that is
distributed, the word of God is shared along with a personal invitation
to receive Jesus Christ as your personal Savior and Lord! AFM was
founded on fulfilling the great commission as given by Jesus Christ...
And Jesus came and spoke unto them saying, 'All power is given unto
me in heaven and on earth. Go ye therefore, and make disciples of all
nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and
of the Holy Spirit: teaching them to obey everything I have commanded
you: and, lo, I am with you always, even unto the end of the world.'
Matthew 28:18-20
Past The non-profit, non-denominational ministry was started by Rev. S.
Joseph and Linda Wingo and their sons in Monroe, GA in 1994. They first
fed 34 families from their home. As the ministry grew, it became clear
that all people could be blessed from this program by saving money on
their food expenses. This allows them more seed money to sow into their
churches, ministries, and unto others that are in need. Most
importantly, it provides an excellent tool to share the gospel of Jesus
Christ in their community. Since January 1995, over 8.1 Million people
have been touched by Angel Food Ministries.
Present AFM currently ministers in 32 states through over 3,000 host sites.
Pennsylvania has approx. 280 sites. AFM has a strong relationship with
the U.S. Dept. Of Agriculture and is an authorized food stamp program
participant. Today, over 500,000 families are fed each month. In
addition, AFM makes benevolent donations back to host site churches for
every order of a regular food box or a special box ordered through a
host site.
