Food PantryDonations

The Corner Market Food Pantry aims to support student success by alleviating barriers associated with food access through immediate and long term resources available at GCC and in our community. 

On-campus resources include free monthly and weekly goods as well as a daily snack station to currently enrolled students and employees. All GCC students and staff are invited to stop by N220 to learn more.

Sign up here prior to or during your first visit.

If you are unable to visit during open hours, Monthly Grab & Go Bags are available at the GCC Library.

If you cannot make it to campus, email foodpantry@gcc.mass.edu for alternative arrangements—or review alternative resources for food security.

Questions? Email foodpantry@gcc.mass.edu

We gladly accept donations to the Food Pantry!

 

We accept goods that have not passed their best by or expirations dates. Please drop off directly at the Corner Market Food Pantry in room N220 during open hours or in the donation box at Stop & Shop in Greenfield, MA.

Please consider a monetary donation so we can purchase goods according to our needs and with bulk purchasing prices.

Checks should be made out to the GCC Foundation with "Food Pantry" in the memo line. You can also make a donation online through the GCC Foundation.
