This Week! 10th Annual Food for Fines Campaign
Posted: February 23rd, 2007
Join us in celebrating the 10th anniversary of Queen’s Library’s annual Food for Fines Campaign! Since its beginning, the campaign has raised several thousands of dollars in cash donations, as well as many many barrels of food items, for the Queen’s AMS Food Bank and the Kingston Area Partners in Mission Food Bank.
How does it work? Donors can choose to apply their donated items against their library fines, by receiving $1.00 of fine reduction for each food item donated to a maximum reduction of $20.00. Alternatively, if delivering food items is not feasible, donors may make a cash donation to a maximum of $20.00. In addition, food or cash donations not applied to fines records are always welcome.
New this year, to mark the 10th anniversary, is the increase in the donation limit to 20 items or $20.00.
What are the dates again? The 2007 campaign will be launched on Monday, March 5th at 9:00 a.m. and will continue through to Friday, March 9th. Donations will be accepted from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. at the circulation desks in Bracken, Engineering and Science, Education, Law, and Stauffer Libraries.
What food items are recommended donations? Consult our Food for Fines Campaign brochure for lists of suggested and non-acceptable items.
