Retriever Essentials partners are committed to providing the help and care UMBC students, faculty, and staff members deserve. All of these organizations work toward ensuring academic and career success of UMBC members. They actively strive for enhancing social justice and equity within and outside the community.


Community Partnership is an integral pillar of Retriever Essentials’. Without our partners we would not have been able to reach to the point where we are. We are able to assist the UMBC community because of their contributions. It is through many offices and departments across the campus that Retriever Essentials is able to collect and distribute food items, personal care products, and meals swipes. 
 
Our partners support our efforts to meet the students where they are in order to ensure their well-being and success. This Giving Day, February 27th, please support Retriever Essentials and its partners so we all can better serve our UMBC community.

On UMBC Giving Day, alumni, students, faculty, staff, and friends will join the #BlackandGoldRush by giving to their favorite UMBC designations, and by inspiring others to give. 

 

Kevin Joseph '87 and a UMBC Employee will donate $1,000 to Retriever Essentials when Retriever Essentials receives 100 donors. His generosity reflects an example of a true UMBC value - of care and commitment. 

 

All gifts - no matter the size - add up. Four years ago, Retriever Essentials started from the trunk of a car when the founding members began distributing food to people who would visit them in a parking lot. 


Your contribution has an impact. 

 

Thus, we invite you to join the drive to support Retriever Essentials in accepting Kevin’s challenge and become one of our first 100 donors. On Feb 27th, Thursday, please visit https://givingday.umbc.edu to make a gift to Retriever Essentials.
