Volusia County, FL-Here’s a novel way to pay off your library fines. Volusia County’s public library branches will accept food for fines from Nov. 13 through 27.
Patrons with late fees will receive a $1 reduction of overdue fines up to $25 for each undamaged, unexpired boxed or can non-perishable food item they bring to the library. Donated food will be used to refill local food banks.
The Food for Fines program is part of the seventh annual Feed the Need food drive spearheaded by Volusia County Government. County employees are joining with other public employees from Volusia County Schools, Daytona State College, the Florida Department of Health and local cities to see which organization can collect the most food per full-time employee.
Last year, the Food for Fines program collected nearly 8,000 pounds of food.
