Angel Food
ministries Changes ordering
Requirements
Angel Food Ministries is excited to announce a new initiative and change that we believe can help more people through their resources.
Beginning with the August menu, they will allow the purchase of any item with no limits or pre-buy requirements. Simply put, you no longer need to buy a signature box, allergen-free or senior meal box to qualify for the produce, grill and meat box specials.
Sonlight Wesleyan Church is the local host site for Angel Food Ministries. For additional information on Angel Food Ministries or any of the menu items, call the church at 260-824-0068 or Margetta Stinson at 260-827-0382. (Pd. Advt.)
