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 during the month. Coins need to be used (order placed & picked up) in the month they were issued. 

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. There are certain restrictions on locker orders such as no frozen items or gift cards. 

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

The pantry will be open during the summer months, closing at noon on Fridays.  

^{Orders placed using May coins must be picked up by May 29th.} 

NEW STUDENTS-If you are registere to attend classes in the fall, you can begin ordering from HomePlate in September when classes begin. Let us know if you need help locating a local pantry prior to September. 

Refrigerated Locker Ordering Change-Effective immediately, only orders placed using 25 coins or less are eligible for locker pick up.  Larger orders will need to be picked up at the food pantry & will not be placed in the lockers. Reminder-Frozen products & gift cards are not available for locker orders. 

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.
