Food for Fines
About the program
Food for Fines is a twice yearly fines amnesty program. We encourage patrons to donate non-perishable, non-expired food items for the duration of our campaign. We've also expanded our Food for Fines program and now accept personal care items.
Each donation results in $2 of fines forgiveness from your account. All paid up? We'll pay it forward for others that may be in need.
