Aggie Food4Fines Program

Turn Parking Citations into Support for Aggieland

Aggie Food4Fines is an initiative that converts eligible parking citations into donations for the Aggie Source Food Pantry. This Parking and Transportation program aims to reduce the financial stress of receiving a citation while supporting students, faculty, and staff who may not have a stable food supply.

This initiative is sponsored by the Student Government Association (SGA), and all collected items will directly benefit the Aggie Source Food Pantry.

 

How It Works

Eligible parking citations can be paid in full by donating approved non-perishable food items during the program period. This initiative provides an alternative way to resolve citations while supporting members of Aggieland.

  • Each donated item is worth $5 toward your parking citation.
    • Example: A $35 citation = 7 approved items.
  • All citations must be paid in full using donations (no partial payments allowed).
  • Bring approved non-perishable items to designated drop-off locations.
  • Have your citation number ready when donating.
  • Only approved, eligible citations qualify (see “Tickets Not Eligible” below)
