Pay University Parking Tickets with Food Donations

The Truman Police Department is teaming up with the Truman Food Bank this holiday season to allow students, faculty and staff to pay up to two unpaid parking tickets with non-perishable food donations instead of cash.

During the week of Dec. 2-6, the Truman Police Department will accept canned goods and other non-perishable food items in lieu of monetary payments at the rate of one item for every $5 in fines owed.

All items collected will be donated to the Truman Food Bank, a group that provides assistance for students in need.

City of Kirksville parking tickets, handicap parking tickets and fire lane violations do not qualify.

This is only valid Dec. 2-6 for currently unpaid parking tickets received during this academic school year. Participants taking advantage of this opportunity should bring a Truman ID along with their non-perishable food items to the Truman Police Department in the General Services Building at the corner of Franklin and Patterson streets.
