TTC Grocery Vault

Grocery-Vault-2.jpg

Students make financial sacrifices to go to school. The Grocery Vault exists to make it easier for students to complete their programs despite these financial sacrifices. The TTC Grocery Vault is located at the Palmer Campus in downtown Charleston, but there are pickup points at other campuses, as well as other delivery options for those without reliable transportation. Clients do not need to provide any financial information, and the Vault is open to all in the TTC community. 

Shop Online for Free Groceries

Students, faculty and staff can select free items at this online store order form Fridays-Sundays to pick up the next Thursday. To use the form, create an account, sign in and complete registration. Then, pick an appointment time and location for pickup of your order and place your order.

Pickup will be held on Thursdays each week between 10 a.m. and 4 p.m. at one of the designated pickup points.

Vault volunteers

We have now partnered with SC Thrive, which will allow you to do one application to apply for additional state and federal benefits to support your educational goals. You can meet with one of our counselors on any of our campuses to fill out the application, call 800-729-8774, or apply online here.

The Grocery Vault also runs the Clothes Closet. You can come pick out new clothing on the Palmer Campus in Rm. 107.

In addition, the TTC Foundation Urgent Needs Fund assists students who have an unforeseen financial emergency which would otherwise prevent them from continuing to attend TTC. Schedule a personal counseling appointment for more information. 

Neighbors Together offers hot meals, a food bank, housing support and other help to the community.
