LEXINGTON, Ky. (Nov. 4, 2016) — The Lexington Parking Authority announced today that its LEXPARK program will once again run the “Food for Fines” canned food drive from Nov. 7 to Dec. 16. Last year’s program brought in 10,000 food items.

Customers who bring in 10 cans of food will receive $15 off any LEXPARK or Lexington Police issued parking citation. Customers with multiple citations may bring in as many cans as they wish and receive $15 credit for every set of 10 cans. Past due citations are eligible. The LEXPARK office is located at 122 North Broadway.

All canned food donations received by LEXPARK will be donated to God’s Pantry Food Bank. Canned vegetables which are at least 14-15 oz. large and protein items such as canned meat, beans or peanut butter are suggested. Expired, damaged or opened food donations will not be accepted.
