‘Food for Fines’ brings in donations for pantry
Palmerton Area Library Directory Christine DeSousa stands with the library’s first full cart of food donations, raised through its annual “Food for Fines” initiative. The food drive, which is only open through April, allows patrons to deduct $1 from their fines for every nonperishable food item they donate. All donations go to the Christian Action Council of Palmerton Area Churches Food Pantry in the borough. DANIELLE DERRICKSON/TIMES NEWS
