Make a Difference One Meal at a Time

Give Back to the UMBC Community

Looking for a simple way to support a fellow Retriever? Save-a-Swipe allows UMBC students, faculty, and staff an opportunity to donate meal swipes to help students who are experiencing food insecurity.

Choose to donate 5 or 10 meal swipes to the Save-a-Swipe shared meal pool. Donated swipes are collected at the beginning of each semester and distributed to students who need additional meal support.

How to Donate

Visit the Save-a-Swipe Donation Form to select your donation amount and submit your contribution now through September 21.

Your generosity can help make sure a UMBC student has access to a meal when they need it most.

Thank you for supporting the Retriever community!
