Food for Fines

Spread the word! Pay eligible parking citations issued from July 1 through November 15, 2024, with a donation of PEANUT BUTTER.

CSU Parking and Transportation Services is excited to host our 9^th annual Food for Fines campaign starting October 14 through November 15, 2024.

During the campaign, customers can pay their parking citations with a peanut butter donation.  Paying citations with peanut butter has a dual benefit for the university community, as at the end of the campaign all donations will be delivered to the Lift Up Vikes! Resource Center & Food Pantry.  Lift Up Vikes! is CSU's on-campus Student Resource Center that helps students reach their full academic and personal potential by providing access to healthy and nutritious food, as well as other necessities.
