Angel Food ministry

Nicholasville’s Bethel Harvest Church is offering Angel Food Ministries, a non-profit, non-denominational ministry designed to feed individuals and families throughout the United States.
BHC is a partner in the ministry and each month distributes about 100 boxes of restaurant-quality food to families in the area.
For almost half the price of shopping at a grocery store, Angel Food’s signature box can help feed a family of four for a week or a single person for a month. Because it is not an income-based program, anyone may particiapate.
Starting in August, if you refer 10 people (you may be one of the 10) who purchase a box of Angel Food, you will receive a signature box for free. This would be a savings of about $70 if you shopped at a grocery store. Be sure the person you refer puts your name at the top right-hand corner of the order from.
Boxes are ordered and purchased prior to distribution and are usually distributed on the fourth Saturday of the month. Food stamps are accepted. August orders will be taken through Aug. 16.
For more information, contact Kathee Norris at (859) 881-3939, ext. 219.
