Clarksville, TN – The holiday season is a time for giving, and the Austin Peay State University Department of Public Safety recently offered members of the University community a chance to give – and be forgiven – with its “Food for Parking Fines” program.
Partnering with the Save Our Students (SOS) Food Pantry, an on-campus food pantry dedicated to providing aid to students in need, the APSU Department of Public Safety conducted its first-ever food drive. From December 8th-14th, students, faculty and staff were able to pay for their parking tickets with a donation of 10 canned food items.
APSU Department of Public Safety collected 1,627 cans of food with the Food for Fines program.

“With school getting ready to start, this is a great time for parents and their children to learn about the community services available to them when they feel they might need it,” said Sgt.
