Many offices across the University of Arkansas Fort Smith campus are giving back during the holiday season – even the Parking Office.
Through Dec. 13, those receiving parking citations from the Parking Office at ϲ can have a ticket of $25 waived by donating 10 canned goods to the office.
All canned goods proceeds will be donated to the Antioch for Youth & Family. Citations must have been received during the fall semester. Donations can include canned fruits and vegetables, dry beans and rice.
Brooke Slaton, parking program coordinator, said the program was a dual effort to help out those in need and relieve financial strain for the ϲ campus community.
“Being able to give food to those in need this holiday season as well as being able to relieve some financial burdens from those at ϲ is a wonderful feeling,” Slaton said. “The holidays should be worry free and spent with loved ones, and the fact that ϲ is helping some accomplish that is heartwarming.”
