Food Pantry and Career Clothes Closet
Food Insecurity is real, GHC is here to help!
Food Pantry:
Food and toiletry items are available at all Georgia Highlands College Food Pantry locations to members of our GHC community. These items are provided through partnership with donations from many members of the GHC communities and bulk purchases from Action Ministries in Rome – a distribution center of the Atlanta Food Bank.
As long as campus locations are open, students are welcome to come to the Charger Food Pantries to shop!

What happens at the Holiday Drive-Thru Food Pantry distribution?
- Drive up to the food pickup area. GHC faculty, staff, and volunteers will guide you through the line to help everyone get through as quickly and safely as possible.
- Check-in. For safety, you will usually check in through your car window. This is when you will be asked to provide your GHC student ID and confirmation email upon arrival.
- Food is put in your trunk. Pre-packed boxes or bags of food and toiletry items are loaded into your trunk. Make sure you have plenty of room. Faculty, Staff, and volunteers will load the food while you stay inside your car. Once you have your food, you can drive off.
Career Clothes Closet:
