Food for Fines

At all WCPL locations from Jan. 2-31, 2025

How Food for Fines works:

  • Patrons bring in nonperishable, unexpired food items to help clear up fines they may have on their accounts.
  • Each nonperishable, unexpired item equals $2 off their balance owed.
  • This does not apply to lost or damaged items.
  • The maximum amount to be waived from someone’s account is $26.
  • This is a month-long initiative. At the end of the month, all food items will be distributed amongst local food pantries and nonprofit organizations that help with food insecurity.
  • Any questions, please call (919) 735-1824.
