Wasilla, Alaska (August 04 , 2009) - Angel Food Ministries (www.angelfoodministries.com), an organization dedicated to providing affordable, high-quality food to those in need, is proud to announce the expansion of services to the Wasilla, Alaska region. When the Angel Food’s food relief program makes trek from Seattle into Alaska to the Wasilla host site, it will no doubt be extremely well received as Wasilla residents now actively ordering online for a minimum of 1200 boxes for their very first order!

“We are blessed to be able to offer every family in Alaska an opportunity to put a decent meal on the table, and we know costs are high there. matter what a family’s financial situation may be, we welcome them,” said Pastor Joe Wingo. “We look forward to becoming part of the Alaskan community and providing them with the same faith through food relief that so many others now benefit from.”

In response to current economic conditions, the demand for Angel Food’s services nationwide has increased significantly and expansion of services to the people of Alaska is one example of the amplified need for quality, affordable food, which is the core of Angel Food’s mission. Angel Food provides individuals and families with fresh, brand name food for a fraction of the retail price. By purchasing food in bulk, directly from some of the top suppliers in the country, food is discounted by up to 50 percent of retail. A standard medium-sized box of food may be purchased for $30, and contains top quality food staples from every food group, including chicken or , milk, eggs, vegetables and fruits. Each of the regular boxes of food feeds a family of four for about one week or a single individual for almost a month. The menu selections vary each month, and consist of both fresh and frozen items, saving Americans money with no sacrifice to quality. There is even a box geared towards the nutritional needs of senior citizens.

“The signature box at Wal-Mart alone is worth $120 here. There are so many people in this state that are starving. I can’t count how many I saw last year,” says Pastor Caroline of the Ministry of the Blessing. “I just know that this is going to blow up, I have people wanting orders all the way from Fairbanks and Valdez.”

The first distribution in Anchorage, Alaska will take place on August 25th at the Ministry of Blessing located at 7821 w. Parks Hwy Wasilla, Alaska 99654. Food distribution will take place from 11:00 AM to 3:00 PM. Angel Food Ministries’ services are for everyone, regardless of economic circumstances.
