Gratitude helps us recognize how we are all connected, and it reminds us that we are not alone. Each of us contributes to the University of Maryland, Baltimore (UMB) community in meaningful ways. This holiday season, there are several ways to share the spirit of gratitude with our West Baltimore neighbors and friends:
- UMB's Staff Senate and Office of Community and Civic Engagement (with support from WJZ-TV) are excited to launch the first annual Season of Giving Campaign to help fund meaningful programming that benefits our West Baltimore neighbors during the holidays. Within the campaign are two fundraising drives:
- Polar Express Experience: Help to create a holiday memory for a West Baltimore family with a gift to this year's Polar Express Experience. Families will receive tickets to ride and enjoy hot chocolate, caroling, holiday crafts, and more at the B&O Railroad.
- Christmas Store: Make the holidays special for families with a gift to this year's Christmas Store. In partnership with the Foundry Church of Baltimore, parents and guardians can shop for their children at the UMB Community Engagement Center for a discounted cost.
Whether you choose to support one or more Season of Giving drives, your donation, no matter the size, will make an impact and create memories for many! Donations will be accepted through Dec. 13.
