The Corner of Care is Chesapeake College’s anonymous food pantry, dedicated to ensuring that no student goes without essential resources. Located on the second floor of the Caroline Center and through the main office of the Cambridge Center, the Corner of Care is a vital resource for currently enrolled students, offering a wide range of items at no cost.

What We Offer

In partnership with the Maryland Food Bank, the Corner of Care provides a fully stocked pantry that includes fresh, frozen, and dried foods, ready-to-eat meals, snacks, cleaning supplies, toiletries, and more. In addition to the main pantry locations, we’ve established free snack stations in most buildings across campus, so students can easily grab a quick snack between classes. For those in need of additional support, gas cards and care packages are also available for quick pickup.

Several times throughout the academic year, you can find the Maryland Food Bank’s Mobile Market on campus as well. Check the events calendar for upcoming dates and times.
