MISSOULA — Do you have some unpaid parking tickets in Missoula?
You might be able to pay them off sooner than expected if you donate food this holiday season.
The Missoula Parking Commission has relaunched its "Food for Fines" program after it was halted during the COVID-19 pandemic.
Donations of non-perishable food can go towards paying off outstanding citations during December. Each item equals $2 off the balance on the car, up to $20, or 10 items for the month.
The food donations will be given to the Missoula Food Bank.
For the parking commission, this is an opportunity to reach the community and give back.
“We don’t always get opportunities to give back to the community as the parking commission. and so we’re always looking for ways that we can, that we can add to that generous spirit of Missoula. and this felt like a good way to do it,” said Missoula Parking Commission director Jodi Pilgrim.
Donations can be dropped off at the Missoula Parking Commission at 128 West Main Street on weekdays between 8 a.m. and 5 p.m.
