Seeking Starter Plant Donations for UMBC Gardening Project
As we embrace the arrival of spring, we are excited to restart our gardening project at Retriever Essentials! This initiative not only fosters sustainability, community engagement, and environmental awareness but also helps supply fresh produce to The Essential Space at Retriever Essentials.
To make this project a success, we are seeking donations of starter plants. If you have extra seedlings or small plants (vegetables, fruits, or herbs), we would greatly appreciate your contributions. These plants will be nurtured in our campus garden by dedicated volunteers who care for them regularly. The harvested fruits and vegetables will directly support Retriever Essentials, benefiting our campus community.
Donations can be dropped off at The Essential Space during open hours (see our website for hours), or we can arrange for a pickup if needed. Please reach out to retrieveressentials@umbc.edu for any questions or to coordinate donations.
Thank you for your generosity and for helping us cultivate a greener, more sustainable campus!

Donate to Save-a-Swipe!
Do you have extra meals?
Spring semester is quickly approaching and our donation window for Save-a-Swipe has opened! Save-a-Swipe is a program that supports UMBC students who are facing financial hardship and experiencing food insecurity.
If you have excess meal swipes in your meal plan, please consider donating to the Save-a-Swipe pool so your extra meals can be distributed to students in need. Each donated swipe will directly contribute to providing one "meal" to students in need.
Thank you for considering this request and for your continued support of Retriever Essentials. Together, we can create a positive and lasting impact!
