There’s nothing more frustrating than getting a ticket when you’re five minutes late back to your car or have managed to park in the wrong place outside your own house.
But, imagine if, instead of having to pay out cash to the man, you could donate canned food to those in need this Christmas instead.
That’s exactly what the City of Lexington Parking Authority’s ‘Food for Fines’ scheme – now in its second year – is for.
From November 16 to December 18, residents who receive a parking ticket dispensed by the parking authority or Lexington Police Department will be able to pay in canned goods instead.
