          <div>Feel like making a difference in your community? If you own a meal plan through UMBC, you are eligible to donate to our Save-a-Swipe program! You can donate 5-10 meals to Save-a-Swipe, where they will be pooled and delegated to students experiencing food insecurity later in the semester. In the Fall 2025 semester, we broke a record number at over one thousand donated meals! These meals helped countless students across campus, combatting food insecurity one donation at a time. We are very happy to announce that our program is back for the Spring 2026 semester, and we look forward to ensuring greater quality of life for our students!</div>
