Quinsigamond Community College Food Pantry

Welcome to the HomePlate Food Pantry!

Please click Sign Up to create your account. Choose a pick-up location and place you online order for groceries, household and hygiene items.  

You will receive 50 coins on the first of each month and can order up to two times a month. Unused coins will not be carried over to the next month.  

Our inventory changes often, the pantry is stocked primarily with products from the Worcester County Food Bank. There may not always be the same products available at the time of your order/pick-up. Students selecting the lockers as a pickup location cannot order frozen items.

You will need have a current semester QCC ID to pick up your order.  Please remember to bring your own bags to pick up your groceries. 

We look forward to seeing you :)

Updates & Reminders 

Holiday Specials-Thanksgiving holiday specials are now available for order!  These items are NOT available for locker orders. Pantry users may select one holiday special for the month.

SNAP/HIP-Individuals with at least one cent on their EBT card are able to use their HIP benefits in November! The HIP benefit allows purchases of fresh food at Farmer's Markets.  The benefit is automatically on all EBT cards, and the amount is $40-$60 per family.  This program is not affected by the government shutdown.

Missed Appointments If you are unable to pick up your order at your scheduled appointment time, you need to notify the pantry in advance by phone or email.  Any order not picked up without communication with the pantry, will be coded as a "miss" on your account. You will forfeit the coins used for the missed order. 

Orders not picked up on time, cannot be held for a later date.  Products from the order are returned to inventory. Three missed appointments in a semester will disqualify you from using the pantry until the following semester.
