The deadline to donate meals has closed and opens in the first month of each semester.
Save-A-Swipe creates a pool of meals that become available to UMBC students who have been identified by trained staff as experiencing food insecurity.
Students on a meal plan can now enroll to donate one meal a week (5 or 10 meals per semester) to a shared pool during the open donation window. Those meals will be distributed to students in need through Counseling Services to be used in True Grit’s.
Sign up to donate meals.
If you are in need of meals, email retrieveressentials@umbc.edu to be assisted.
