Food for Fines

Fri, 04 Nov 2022 15:28:01 -0400

One of the saddest statistics you will hear today is approximately one out of every three college students in America suffers from food insecurity. This is a startling statistic and one that needs to be corrected.

UMBC's Retriever Essentials and Parking Services are teaming up for Food for Fines. This program was created to collect food and toiletries for UMBC students facing food insecurity.

How does it work? From November 7-18, simply bring in five or more items from the attached list and we will reduce one active citation to a warning (the citation must be $40 or less). Previously paid citations are not eligible. All donations must be made at the Parking Services offices from 8 AM to 4 PM, Monday thru Friday by November 18.

Don't have any citations? We are happy to accept any and all donations. We just ask that your items be unopened and non-expired.

College is hard enough to manage without dealing with hunger. Your help can mean so much to so many students.

A little bit can help so many! Questions? Contact Parking Services at 410-455-2551 or email us at parking@umbc.edu
