The Mansfield University
police department will hold its first “Food for Fines” food drive from November
7-18. Food donations will benefit the Mansfield Food Pantry and the Campus
Cupboard.
With Food for Fines, if an
individual donates a minimum of five non-perishable or canned food items, they
can get a current unpaid parking ticket dismissed. Food items can be donated at
the University Police Station, 65 Clinton St, 104
Doane Center throughout
the period.
Food items that are in glass
jars, damaged, opened, missing the label, or past expiration will not be able
to be accepted. In order to count towards a ticket, canned items must be 10 oz
or larger. Additionally, donations will not be valid for boot removals, ADA, or
fire lane violations.
The drive is open to all,
not just those who currently have a ticket with the MU police department. All
qualifying donations will be gladly accepted.
