May is also National Asthma & Allergy Awareness Month! This month is dedicated to raising awareness, educating communities, and advocating for equitable access to treatments for asthma and allergies.

More than 100 million people in the U.S. live with asthma or allergies—conditions that affect every aspect of daily life, from physical health and emotional well-being to financial stability. Yet for many, life-saving treatments remain out of reach due to barriers like high costs or limited insurance coverage.

AAFA continues to call for action: lower treatment costs, better healthcare access, and increased research funding. Access matters. Awareness matters. Let’s work together to create healthier, more inclusive communities for all.

Did you know that at UMBC, our Dining Services are committed to supporting students with food allergies and celiac disease?

We recognize that starting college can be stressful, especially for students with dietary restrictions. UMBC Dining offers personalized support to make sure every student can eat safely on campus. Key features of our allergy support program include:

• One-on-one consultations with Campus Dietitian Adam Sachs, RDN, LDN, where students can discuss their allergies, dietary needs, review menus, and create an individualized dining plan.
  
  

• Your S.P.A.C.E. (Special Prepared Allergy Controlled Eating) at True Grit’s, a designated area with allergy-safe products including rice milk, Lactaid, gluten-free bread and cereal, and a dedicated gluten-free toaster.
  
  

• “Delicious Without” Station at True Grit’s, offering meals prepared without the 9 most common allergens (peanuts, tree nuts, soy, fish, shellfish, dairy, wheat, eggs, and sesame) and gluten. These meals are made with separate equipment and utensils to minimize cross-contact.
  
  

• Ongoing support from trained chefs and dining staff to help students feel safe and confident in their dining choices.
  
  

• Ingredient transparency through our online database and clearly labeled menus to assist students in making informed decisions.
  
  

Students and families are encouraged to reach out before the semester starts to establish a dining plan tailored to their needs. To schedule a meeting or ask questions, contact Adam Sachs at umbcrd@umbc.edu or 443.612.8331.
