HUB x GCAP
SIP 'N SAVE PROGRAM

Our Purpose

Beginning in Winter 2026, GCAP will initiate this partnership to incentivize UCR students to live sustainably through their consumption and lifestyle habits. Throughout this program, our committee hopes to demonstrate how convenient it is to avoid and substitute single-use plastic waste by endorsing students’ efforts to adopt reusable materials.

Sip N' Save Program.

In collaboration with the Highlander Union Building (HUB) Restaurants and Coffee shops (serving Klatch coffee) at UCR, GCAP encourages students to bring their own reusable cups when buying drinks at HUB Plaza restaurants. Our initiative aims to raise students' awareness of the environmental impact of single-use plastics on campus and introduce fun and effortless methods of consuming more sustainably. Starting in Fall 2024, when students bring a clean reusable cup to purchase drinks at the HUB, they can receive a stamp on a special GCAP Sip n' Save Stamp Card! Fully stamped cards can be redeemed at weekly Wednesday GCAP tabling in exchange for a $5 UCR dining gift card!

How To Participate.

Stop by Weekly Wednesday GCAP Tabling by the Bell Tower to receive a blank GCAP stamp card.
Visit participating HUB locations to order drinks and bring your reusable cup.
Ask the employees to use your reusable cup for the drink order.
Notify the cashier you have a GCAP Sip n' Save Stamp Card, and they will stamp it. *You must present the physical card in order for them to stamp it*
Once you collect 10 stamps on your card, you can return the completed stamp card to ASUCR Front Office (at HUB 202) and trade it in for a $10 UCR Bearbucks gift card!

*Stamps used to mark a GCAP Sip n' Save Stamp card are unique and cannot be falsified or copied. Invalid stamps on a student's card will not be accepted by GCAP members.*
