 Food for Fines Supports Local Food Banks

 March 8-12: 13th Annual Food for Fines Campaign

The Teacher Resource Centre is pleased to announce the 13th annual Food for Fines campaign which begins on Monday, March 8th at 9 am and continues until Friday, March 12th at 5 pm.

 

 Since its inception, 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 Centre and the Partners in Mission Food Bank.

How does it work? 

The TRC will gladly accept non-perishable FOOD ITEMS in lieu of payment for library fines (this does not cover any other library fees which may be owing). For each item you donate, your fines will be reduced by $1.00 to a maximum of $20.00 per person for the week.

You also have the option of donating your cash fine payments to a maximum of $20.00 per person.

In addition, food or cash donations not applied to fines records are always welcome.

Which food items make acceptable donations?

Suggested donations:

• baby food
• soup
• side dishes
• canned juice
• canned meats, fish, vegetables or fruit
• evaporated milk
• peanut butter
• crackers
• rice, pasta, pasta sauce

We cannot accept the following items:

• “junk” food
• fresh food, home-made food, or bulk food
• dented or rusted cans
• damaged items
• open packages
• packages with expired dates

What are the dates again? 

The 2010 campaign will be launched on Monday, March 8th at 8:30 a.m. and will continue through to Friday, March 12th until 5:00 p.m.  Donations will be accepted Mon. -Thurs. 8:30 a.m. to 7 p.m., Fri. 8:30 a.m. to 5 p.m.
