Each month we team up with other area churches and the Real Life Center and participate in the Mobile Food Pantry.  At the mobile food pantry we unload a food distribution truck from the Atlanta Food Bank and sort the food into stations.  Residents in Fayette County who are in need drive from station to station while we place food in their car and talk to them a little bit at each station.  At the end of the day we take down the stations and return the space to a normal parking lot.

The Mobile Food Pantry is held at Grace Evangelical Church on Flat Creek Trail.

Angel's House opened it's door on June 21, 2004 to provide a safe home for children who had no other place to go.  They currently provide for 10-15 teenage girls every day.  They are located in Newnan, GA so most girls are from Coweta county but they do have girls from outside Coweta too.  Per the Angel's House website: "Angel’s House is a group foster home for teen girls in DFCS custody.  Some are removed from their homes because of abuse, neglect or risky behaviors. Others are transitioning between foster homes, or are faced with other circumstances that require immediate assistance. The girls who come through our doors receive the shelter, structure, and care they need to maximize their potential for success. Whether they stay for a night, a month or several years, thanks to your help we are able to secure their safety and well-being by providing a sense of family that lasts a lifetime."  Word of God provides miscellanous items to the kids for camp in the summer or supplies during the school year.
