Save-a-Swipe for Retriever Essentials!

We're excited to say that our Save-a-Swipe program is back for the spring semester, and we will be taking donations through the 25th of February. I've attached below a flyer that grants users a direct link to our donation page, where students, staff and faculty with meal plans can donate 5-10 meals to students experiencing food insecurity later in the semester.

If you have any questions about our Save-a-Swipe program, please feel free to contact us at retrieveressentials@umbc.edu, we will be happy to answer.

Due to The Faculty Staff Senate's assistance in raising awareness for our program last semester, we achieved a record-breaking amount at over one thousand donated meal swipes! This contribution was essential to combatting food insecurity on campus at a rate never before seen in the program.
