‘Food for Fines’ ends Friday

Food For Fines

Faculty, staff, students and the general public can get a WVU parking citation excused by donating to WVU Parking Management’s “Food for Fines” food drive, benefiting The Rack: WVU Student Food Pantry, through Friday (Nov. 15).

In exchange for a donation of 10 nonperishable food items — 12 ounces or more recommended — participants can get a maximum of one unpaid parking citation removed from their account, up to a $20 value.

Participants should donate their items on the first floor of Mountaineer Station from 8:15 a.m. to 4:15 p.m. 

Parking citations that have already been paid cannot be refunded; however, donations are welcome from those who do not currently have any unpaid parking citations.

Suggested donations include the following:

• All types of rice and pasta

• Varieties of soups

• Microwavable meals

• Canned meats (turkey, ham, spam, chicken, tuna)

• Canned vegetables and fruits

The Rack is also in need of food items for individuals with dietary restrictions, such as those who follow vegetarian, vegan, lactose-free or gluten-free diets. 

To view specific donation needs, visit the Amazon wishlist.

Food items should not be expired.

For questions, contact the WVU Parking Management Office at 304-293-5502.
