The East Grand Forks City Council approved the continuation of the Police Department’s program that allows the department to collect food or cash donations for the East Grand Forks Food Shelf in place of monetary fines for certain parking violations through the month of December.
The program allows people who receive calendar parking or snow emergency parking tickets to pay their fine with a donation of five non-perishable food items, which are then given to the EGF Food Shelf. People who receive a parking ticket for one of these violations may also pay their fine and designate that the fine be donated to the food shelf.
East Grand Forks residents who do not get a parking ticket are also encouraged to make donations to the food shelf. These donations may be dropped off at any time at the East Grand Forks Police Department at 520 Demers Avenue.
