Angel Food Ministries is a non-profit, non-denominational organization dedicated to providing grocery relief to communities throughout the United States. Angel Food works through churches and community organizations in over 32 states. You can check out the Angel Food Ministries website HERE. Angel Food's groceries are sold in a quantity that can fit into a medium-sized box at $25 per unit. Each month's menu is different than the previous month and consists of both fresh and frozen items with an average retail value of approximately $50. Comparison shopping has been done across the country in various communities using a wide range of retail grocery stores and has resulted in the same food items costing from between $42 and $78. Generally, one unit of food assists in feeding a family of four for about one week or a single senior citizen for almost a month. The food is all the same high quality one would purchase at a grocery store. There are no second-hand items, no damaged or out-dated goods, no dented cans without labels, no day-old breads and no produce that is almost too ripe. |

| Union
County Family YMCA |
YMCA MISSION STATEMENT To put Christian principals into practice through programs that build healthy spirit, mind and body for all. Our YMCA is in the midst of our Annual Sustaining Campaign to raise scholarship funds for youth and families who cannot afford YMCA program and memberships fees. Our goal is $22,000. We need the help of YMCA members and friends to achieve this goal and make an impact on more lives in our community. In 2007 the YMCA gave out $63,000 in scholarships. The YMCA is fortunate to receive $19,000 from the United Way of Union County but we need more funds so we can help all families in need and never have to turn someone away. A little girl was able to attend gymnastics class and a little boy learned how to swim as a result of financial assistance. These are just 2 of 100's of children who were impacted by this campaign. |
