Food For Fines Thanks You

Whitman County Library and area food pantries thank the 104 residents who donated $700 in non-perishable food and toiletry items for the fifteenth annual Food for Fines drive. Donations came in throughout Whitman County with almost 1/3 of those not attached to the waiving of library fines. When the last cart of Food for Fines were brought to Council on Aging Director Paige Collins exclaimed, “What a BRILLIANT way to have folks take care of their fines, and do a LOT of good in the meanwhile!” Food for Fines is held each February when area pantries report more people struggling with high heat bills and difficulty feeding their hungry families.
