Bethel Harvest offers Angel Food Ministry
Nicholasville’s Bethel Harvest Church is offering Angel Food Ministries, a nonprofit, nondenominational ministry designed to feed individuals and families throughout the United States.
BHC is a partner in this 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 participate.
Starting in August 2011, 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. Make sure the person you refer puts your name at the top right-hand corner of the order form.
Boxes are ordered and purchased prior to distribution and are usually distributed on the fourth Saturday of the month. Food stamps are accepted.
