March 2006 - How USDA is Partnering
with Faith-Based and Community Organizations
"Thank you Angel Food Ministries for all the food
that my family and I have been able to receive with
our "Food Stamps". By using this wonderful food
distribution program through our local church, we
have had plenty of nutritious meals that last until
the next monthly food distribution". Betty Smathers
of Terre Haute, Indiana, is but one of the many
individuals and families that have been helped by
the food boxes distributed by Angel Food Ministries:
“We are very grateful for what you are doing for
people all across the USA.”
Doug Canup, area director for USDA Rural
Development, said the $6.97 million loan was the
largest the USDA has done for a faith-based
organization under the president's Faith-Based and
Community Initiative, an effort designed to assist
churches and ministries as they serve their
communities.
Angel Food Ministries is a non-profit,
non-denominational organization dedicated to
providing food relief and financial support to
communities throughout the United States...
