GT FY23: Campus Pantry
By Division of Student Affairs
Help purchase quality, nutritious food and supplies needed to operate the Campus Pantry programs, including new educational workshops.
Help purchase quality, nutritious food and supplies needed to operate the Campus Pantry programs, including new educational workshops. Division of Student Affairs Thanks to generous donors and support, in July, 2021 the UMD Campus Pantry moved to its new, permanent location in the ground-floor of the South Campus Dining building. The Campus Pantry now includes adequate refrigeration and freezer space to consistently stock fresh and frozen foods, additional food storage space, dedicated door access, resource room for students, and teaching kitchen to teach healthy cooking basics. The Pantry is open Monday through Friday 10 am-5 pm. This fall, the Pantry is serving approximately 1,700 visits per month, which is up from 600 visits per month during the same time last year. Our Mission The UMD Campus Pantry mission is to alleviate food insecurity among the University of Maryland College Park campus community by providing emergency food to students, faculty, and staff in need. Our Vision Our vision is a University of Maryland community where every student, faculty and staff member has reliable access to an adequate supply of affordable, safe and nutritious food. Our Story The UMD Campus Pantry opened in 2014 in response to a growing awareness of the number of students, staff, and faculty experiencing food insecurity on our campus. Since then, the team at the pantry have worked to alleviate the stress of food insecurity by providing emergency food, promoting sustainable food practices, and sharing local resources and raising awareness. Located in the ground floor of the South Campus Dining Hall, the Campus Pantry provides a safe, confidential and dignified experience for its patrons, providing short term relief and direction toward long term solutions for themselves and in some cases, their families. Food Insecurity on Campus Food insecurity – the lack of reliable access to sufficient quantities of affordable, safe, nutritious food In 2015, researchers from the School of Public Health conducted a food insecurity survey across campus, prompting a larger and on-going study that the Pantry is involved with today. Led by the University of Maryland Counseling Center Research Unit in partnership with the University of Maryland Department of Dining Services, University Health Center, and Maryland Parent and Family Association, the Food Access and Student Well-Being Study has surveyed over 4,901 undergraduate and graduate students since the summer of 2017. Of the students surveyed, 20% reported being food insecure, and the study found that those who reported this were more likely to report issues in other areas of wellness, whether physically, emotionally, or academically. The University will be repeating this survey in Spring 2023. How You Can Help Be Aware, Volunteer, and Donate! Funds raised from this campaign will go towards the UMD Campus Pantry operating funds. The operations fund supplements food donations by allowing the Campus Pantry to purchase quality, nutritious food and supplies needed to operate the Campus Pantry program including the new educational workshops. The Campus Pantry is launching Campus Pantry Kitchen Starter Kit which include olive oil, spices, salt & pepper, stock, flour and other kitchen essentials. With every $20 donated, we can provide one Kitchen Starter Kit. For more information on the Pantry, how to donate food and volunteer, visit: http://campuspantry.umd.edu/ Gifts in support of the University of Maryland are accepted and managed by the University of Maryland College Park Foundation, Inc., an affiliated 501(c)(3) organization authorized by the Board of Regents.

GT FY23: Fostering Terp Success Program Fund
By Division of Student Affairs
Support students who were or are in foster care, who are homeless or at risk of being homeless, and students who are without a supportive family system.
Support students who were or are in foster care, who are homeless or at risk of being homeless, and students who are without a supportive family system. Division of Student Affairs The mission of Fostering Terp Success (FTS) is to increase the academic and personal success of undergraduate students who have a history of foster care involvement and/or are experiencing homelessness or housing insecurity, and lack a supportive family system. Through our campus-wide network, we work to provide support, remove barriers, and assist students in accessing essential campus services, navigating challenges, and developing self-advocacy and life skills. Fostering Terp Success students face significant unmet needs, many of which present overwhelming barriers to success. Your donation enables us to meet critical needs and helps us ensure individualized and student-driven support! Since the program began welcoming students in Spring 2019, we have served more than 100 students via intake, referral to resources, and/or enrollment in the program. We currently have 30 students receiving case management from FTS staff as well as mentoring from a campus coach. Approximately 87% of our FTS students are experiencing homeless (and are safely housed) and 13% have been involved in foster care. Additionally, a disproportionate number of our students experiencing homelessness are BIPOC and LGBTQ+ young adults, which aligns with the national and Prince George's County, Maryland average. Your donation contributes to solutions! Here's how: Our priority is ensuring that students’ basic and most essential needs are met. This includes housing, food, clothing, personal care items, and other living essentials. Living on campus has a positive impact for college students and that’s where we want them to be; however, paying for housing and/or affording a meal plan can be a challenge. 12-month campus housing is a particularly tough barrier since students require additional funding to cover winter and summer break housing. We need help to close these gaps. Many of our Fostering Terp Success students receive financial assistance toward the cost of tuition, fees, and other expenses, but it rarely covers everything they need to be successful. The cost of required textbooks and specialty course supplies can present overwhelming barriers. Gaps in funding lead to students in classes without the necessary tools to be successful in those classes. We provide ongoing support from a full-time case manager, and each FTS student is matched with a Campus Coach to help them accomplish their goals and leverage their strengths to overcome barriers. Campus coaches are UMD faculty and staff who are trained to provide one-on-one mentoring to Fostering Terp Success students. We create a brave space where students are welcomed and embraced rather than isolated by their circumstances. We organize networking opportunities and workshops (always offered along with a hot meal) to help students enhance their inherent skills and develop important self-advocacy and life skills. Our ultimate goal is to provide students with the support and tools they need to graduate with a bachelor’s degree from UMD and transition to success beyond UMD. We now have 11 Fostering Terp Success UMD alumni and we look forward to many more! Gifts in support of the University of Maryland are accepted and managed by the University of Maryland College Park Foundation, Inc., an affiliated 501(c)(3) organization authorized by the Board of Regents. Contributions to the University of Maryland are tax deductible as allowed by law. Please see your tax advisor for details.

GT FY23: College Park Scholars Legacy Fund
By Undergraduate Studies
Help College Park Scholars take advantage of the kind of experiential learning that could transform their life—and their future.
Help College Park Scholars take advantage of the kind of experiential learning that could transform their life—and their future. Undergraduate Studies As fall edges into winter, our College Park Scholars students continue to make the most of their undergraduate experiences. Many are maximizing their time outside of class by pursuing those life-changing learning opportunities we so prize in Scholars: career-making internships, groundbreaking research, eye-opening service-learning and mindset-expanding global learning. So many internships, research positions and service-learning opportunities, however, are unpaid, and global learning continues to be expensive. Students who are already cash- and time-strapped are forced to make difficult choices: Should they accept the internship and take on a part-time job to earn the money they need? Would they even have time for an extra job on top of service-learning and a full schedule of classes? Should they just turn down the coveted research spot and hope a paid opportunity might somehow come along later? Should they bother to register for that global learning course being led by a Scholars faculty member? Your gift on Giving Tuesday can help. Today, please consider making a donation to the College Park Scholars Legacy Fund, which provides modest scholarships to students faced with just this sort of quandary. Winter break and the spring semester are when many of our Scholars ramp up their involvement in internships, research and other active learning. A gift from you today, on Giving Tuesday, will mean more students can say "yes" to these opportunities, without hesitation. Your support will allow a Scholar to take on the kind of experiential learning that could transform their life—and their future. On behalf of our Scholars, thank you.
