Great Angel Food distribution. Thanks everyone!

Thanks to everyone who helped make our Angel Food distribution a success. We appreciate all of your help.

An estimated 48 people were served through the food boxes. In addition to the Angel Food distribution, we gave clothing and household items to a family of 5. A food pantry box also found a home as did a toy.

We worked with 3 juvenile offenders, three youth volunteers and four adult volunteers. The churches of Baileyton United Methodist in Greeneville, Tennessee and Holston Baptist Church of Strawberry Plains donated items.

All in all, it was a busy day. We couldn't have done it without you.

Angel Food Box Order Deadline Sat.

We'll be accepting Angel Food box orders at the mission center from 11:00 - 2:00 pm. Signature boxes are $30 each. Additional specials are available. The price varies for those. You can read the full menu here.

A+ Angel Food and Ministry Day

Saturday was a great Angel Food and ministry day at Hope for Healing.Org. A total of 9 boxes of Angel Food were distributed. One box went to a family in need who could not afford to buy it. Neither is this family on food stamps.

It's time for the seasonal switchover! A juvenile offender and volunteer bagged up clothing in the ministry center. We're trying to make room for short sleeved summer clothing by removing the long sleeved items.

Next, we'll be sprucing up the center to get it ready for springtime! We have a lot of spring activities planned. Our volunteers and staff can't wait.

Speaking of volunteers... Do you have a couple of hours a month of free time? Would you like to make a difference in the lives of others? Why not think about volunteering? We need people for Thursday, Friday and Saturday. The shifts are two hours long (although you are welcome to stay longer.)

Volunteers fold, sort and hang clothing. Grill hot dogs, hamburgers or other such items for lunch. Sand salvageable furniture items and more. We also need help with mailouts, craft items and recycling. If you can help why not contact us? Email us at makingadifference@hopeforhealing.org

Angel Food Ministries FBI Search Warrant Executed 2/11

I got an email today from Angel Food Ministries. It says that a search warrant was executed at their home office in Monroe, GA. The email is silent on what information was being looked for by the investigators.

The following is taken from the email sent out this evening.

"Monroe, GA - Wednesday, February 11, 2009 - A single search warrant was executed today on Angel Food Ministries home office. Angel Food Ministries believes that this is an investigation of an individual or individuals connected to the organization, and not regarding the ministry itself, its service to the public or its host sites in any way.

The Board of Directors has pledged full cooperation with government officials.

Angel Food Ministries, welcoming its 15th year of serving food to those in need, reaches 39 states to hundreds of thousands of families with nearly six million boxes distributed in 2008. It is our mission to do that, and it will continue to do so. AFM is taking orders and is prepared to fill them as usual."

FoxAtlanta is reporting that the search warrant was executed by the FBI. More information is available on the FoxAtlanta website.

A+ Ministry Day, Angel Food Distribution Restorative Justice

The Angel Food distribution went smoothly. An extra food box quickly found a new home. She was so thankful to get it!

Plus, we had a wonderful teen from Restorative Justice that was helping plus two college kids. Everyone remembered their food boxes and several gifts of in-kind donations came in. It's one of those days that makes you proud to be in ministry.

Despite the cold, no heat and working outside we persevered - just like our clients do everyday.

Today was a good day.

A+ Angel Food, Volunteers, Holiday Craft Show

Thanks to our volunteers for a terrific Angel Food distribution and more. We got a lot accomplished yesterday. Everything went really well. This was Mildred's first time at coordinating. Feedback was great!

Also on Angel Food days we are joined by juvenile offenders through Restorative Justice. These are kids who are giving court-ordered community service. They just pitched right in and went to work. Jason had them carrying food boxes, sanding and re-creating furniture and more - right along with other Hope Youth Volunteers. You couldn't have asked for better.

Overall, all the kids helped with the distribution. They also sanded wood items and learned how to turn items that need some TLC into beautiful pieces. A chair was completely repainted and padding replaced. We all worked to make a battered kitchen table into a workable, pretty piece. The girls helped make Santa Claus pins from cinnamon sticks, sand wood and recreate furniture. They also helped a grateful Gwen out in the thrift shop. These items and more will be available at our holiday craft show.

The neatest thing about creating these items isn't in having terrific items to sell. (Although that is a plus.) The best thing is that the kids have a chance to recreate their views on the world. Helping carry food boxes helps their self-esteem. Creating items gives them new skills and helps their self-esteem.

Basically, at-risk kids have a place they can go that they feel is safe. They have a chance to stretch their wings and grow. With that opportunity, lots of positive things happen.

Angel Food Distribution Tomorrow Nov. Menu Available

Don't forget to pick up your food boxes. The distribution is from 9:00 am - 10:00 am. The November menus are available. There is the Basic Box, Senior Box and the Thanksgiving Box, plus specials.

One note about the Thanksgiving box. The hen listed is a chicken and not a turkey. We've had people ask. Gayle phoned Angel Food to make sure. Angel Food confirmed today that the Thanksgiving Box does contain a chicken.

The November Angel Food menu is available here. It's also available on the Angel Food Ministries website. We hope a lot of people will take advantage of the savings. There are no qualifications and no income requirements. Angel Food is open to everyone.

We hope to see you tomorrow!
