Food for Fines

The holidays are approaching and so is your opportunity to get rid of those overdue fines!  Food for Fines will begin Monday, November 18, 2024 and run through Saturday, January 4, 2025.  Bring in any amount of non-perishable goods (boxed & canned goods, toiletries, paper products) and we will remove the overdue fines on your account.  Please note, this only covers overdue fines (and not lost or damaged fees).  You will need to bring your items to the front desk so that we can remove your fines.  All donations will benefit the local Bridgman area.
