Fourth Annual Food for Fines Campaign

The Cleveland State University Parking and Transportation Services Department will be collecting peanut butter donations for its Fourth Annual Food for Fines Campaign. The Campaign, which supports CSU’s Lift Up Vikes! Resource Center and Food Pantry, will be held Thursday, October 21 through Friday, November 15.

Parking citations issued between July 1 and November 15, 2019 are eligible to receive up to a $45 credit with a contribution of 100 ounces of sealed/unopened peanut butter. Lift Up Vikes! prefers 16 ounce jars to assist more students.

Citation credit of $45 is available for each 100 ounces donated. Donation credit is not applicable for citations already paid and credit is not issued for ounces over 100. Citations must be paid in full to receive the credit. Payment and donation must be received during the collection time to receive credit, even if the citation is under appeal.

You do not need to have received a parking citation to donate. We encourage all members of the campus community to support Lift Up Vikes! by dropping off peanut butter donations to the CSU Parking Office before November 15, 2019. Note, the office is closed on Veteran’s Day, November 11, 2019.

This is the fourth year CSU Parking will be hosting the Food for Fines Campaign. During the past three years, the effort has collected over 11,000 ounces of peanut butter. Let’s make this year even better!
