The Can Your Fines food drive is taking place at Mentor Public Library and, once again, library patrons can donate food in exchange for forgiveness of their fines.
The food drive will run all through the month of December and people can donate at any of MPL’s branches. The donated food will go to local food pantries that will share it with families in need.
Each nonperishable food item that someone donates will be worth up to a dollar off of the fines they owe. People can get up to five dollars in fines waived this way. Patrons can only trade food for fines once during the Can Your Fines food drive. Those whose fines have gone to collections are not eligible to participate.
