How It Works

Bring your qualifying donations and one outstanding parking citation to the Parking and Transportation Services Office. Your citation (including any late fees) will be dismissed if the minimum 10-point requirement is met.

Donation Point System:

  • 1 point = 1 approved canned food item
  • 5 points = 1 approved toiletry item

A total of 10 points is required for one citation dismissal. You can combine items to meet the requirements—for example, 5 canned food items and 1 toiletry item (5 + 5 = 10 points).
