  • The GCC Food Pantry is an official site of Franklin County Community Meals, Inc., located in N240 on GCC’s main campus. Given the inherent struggles of being a student while holding down a job and/or raising a family, all GCC students and staff, who could use a little help making ends meet, are invited to stop by the GCC Food Pantry to learn more about immediate and long term food resources in our community.  If you are interested in making a donation to the pantry or volunteering your time, please contact Natalie Feliciano or Jan Ross at foodpantry@gcc.mass.edu.
