The pantry is supported by local businesses, as well as the congregation of Jodeco Road UMC, Jodeco Baptist Church, Mount Olive Baptist Church, Jones Memorial UMC, and Stockbridge Assembly of God. The pantry provides food to Calvary Refuge Center, Haven House, Lebre House, Noah's Ark and Revelation Celebration Ministry (RCM). The pantry accepts donations of food items such as canned meats, vegetables, fruits and non-perishable items such as cereal, grits, biscuit mix, cocoa mix, bottled water, oatmeal, jello, tea, mayo, crackers, soups, peanut butter and jelly, etc.  The pantry also tries to provide soap, paper towels, toilet paper and other personal items when available.
