Food for Fines starts today at KC Public Library

Scofflaws can find redemption this week. The Kansas City Public Library’s Food for Fines program — in which each canned good you bring to a library branch earns you $1 off your overdue fines — starts today and runs through Sunday, October 28.

The program is a partnership with Harvesters: The Community Food Network. All Kansas City library branches will be accepting unexpired, undamaged and nonperishable canned or boxed goods. And each day this week, those who tweet about their donations get a shot at winning a gift card to a local restaurant. Get the #FoodforFines details here.
