Dropping off donations from last year's Can Your Fines food drive. |
The food drive will run all through November and people can donate at any of Mentor Public Library’s branches.
The donated food will go to local food pantries at St. Gabriel and St. John Vianney. The pantries will, in turn, give it to families in need.
Each nonperishable food item that somebody 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.
Last year, patrons donated 880 pounds of food during the Can Your Fines drive.
For more information, contact the Mentor Public Library at (440) 255-8811.
