UAH students can ease their parking ticket woes and support a worthy cause at the same time through the Donations for Citations program, a partnership between the UAH Student Government Association (SGA) and the Parking Services team.
Make a donation of non-perishable food items to the on-campus food pantry sponsored by the SGA. Then receive a donation voucher to take to Parking Services for a reduction in parking fines. This program may be used for up to $50 worth of parking tickets each semester.
“The food pantry allows us as a community to assist those who may not be as fortunate,” says Joshua Jamison, SGA president. “With the implementation of the Donations for Citations program, we are now able to give students an opportunity to not only reduce their parking tickets but also to help their fellow students.”
Items for donation should be brought to the Office of Student Life (Charger Union 201, under the ADMINISTRATION sign) Monday through Friday between 9 a.m. and 4 p.m.
Examples of possible donations and parking credits:
- Case of Ramen – $10
- Pasta, instant potatoes – $3
- Canned veggies – $1
- Full-size box of cereal – $3
- Soups, chili, mac and cheese – $2
- Box of granola bars – $5
The food pantry provides non-perishable food items to members of the UAH community who are dealing with food insecurity. SGA started the program in the fall 2014 semester.
