UMBC Parking Services is proud to once again team up with Retriever Essentials for the return of the Food for Fines. This program is scheduled to run from October 24 thru November 14.
How does this work? Donate any five non-perishable food items and/or five toiletry items and we will reduce one citation (up to a $50 violation) to a warning. The citation must be from the current semester. One citation reduction per student. Items needed include:
*Healthy Snacks
*Protein Drinks & Bars
*Instant Noodles
*Pre-Packaged Rice Bags
*Boxes of Cereal
*Peanut Butter & Jelly
*Shelf-Safe Microwaveable Meals (Macaroni & Cheese, Rice, Etc.)
*Menstrual Pads/Tampons
*Diapers/Wipes
*Household Essentials Like Toothpaste, Toothbrushes, Dental Floss, Deodorant, Etc.
Please note...we cannot accept Toilet Paper and Paper Towels.
All items should be donated to Parking Services (900 Walker Avenue, Suite 107). Donations must be new and unopened. Donations will be accepted from 8 AM to 4PM, Monday to Friday, and must be donated in our offices to receive the citation reduction. We are closed for lunch from 12:30 PM to 1:30 PM.
Food security is real! No one should worry about their next meal!
