Sister BJ's Pantry serves the homeless community as well as low-income families in downtown Oklahoma City. Anyone in need is welcome to come during open hours — no pre-registration is required.
The food bank gives out premade boxes of basic canned goods and non-perishable food items. On weekends, a hot breakfast is served — guests have described enjoying hot coffee, hotdogs, and sack lunches during their visits. The pantry also hands out around 400 cups of coffee every weekend. Clothing is available through the clothing ministry, and the pantry regularly requests donations of gently used men's jeans (sizes 30–34) for the people it serves.
