Retriever Essentials is taking donations through September 24th for their Save-a-Swipe program!  The attached flyer provides a direct link to their donation page where students, staff and faculty with meal plans can donate 5-10 meals to students experiencing food insecurity this school year.

Please spread the word:  Due to The Non-Exempt Staff Senate’s assistance in raising awareness for the program last year, Retriever Essentials gathered three times the donations over the previous year. Thanks to the generosity of UMBC’s community, Retriever Essentials continues to make a difference in the lives of our students. 

If you have any questions about the Save-a-Swipe program, feel free to contact Retriever Essentials at retrieveressentials@umbc.edu.  Thank you!
