SPRINGFIELD – The Lincoln Land Community College Library will kick-off a “Food for Fines” campaign from April 12 through the rest of the spring semester.
LLCC will donate all collections to the Central Illinois Food Bank. Hy-Vee groceries will match up to $500 worth of items collected.
“Food for Fines” allows students, faculty and staff to pay off fines or fees on their library account by donating non-perishable items for the Central Illinois Food Bank.
Individuals will receive $5 off of their total fines for each item donated.
Suggested items include canned meat, fruit, vegetables and pasta sauce; chili, beef stew and other soups; cereal, pasta, rice and macaroni and cheese; boxed meals and peanut butter; along with non-grocery items such as soap, toilet paper and diapers.
