Transportation and Parking will excuse one parking citation in exchange for a donation of 10 non-perishable food items (12 ounces or more recommended). Students, faculty, staff and the general public should donate their items to the first floor of Mountaineer Station from Nov. 4-14. The collection site will be open from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. on weekdays.

Suggested donations include canned meats, vegetables, pumpkin, beans and soup as well as stuffing mix, cranberry sauce, peanut butter, applesauce, crackers, rice, pasta and other pantry staples.

With this program, a maximum of one unpaid parking citation (up to a $20 value) will be excused. Parking citations that already have been paid cannot be refunded; however, donations are welcome from those who do not currently have any unpaid parking citations.

The food drive will benefit The Rack and The Rack II@HSC student food pantries to help students in need during this holiday season.
