Food for Fines is a way for students and faculty to get parking and traffic citation relief, and it’s open all week. Those with unpaid citations can have them forgiven by donating food, hygiene, household and/or baby items to the Shocker Support Locker, a service that provides free groceries to students.

Anyone with a Wichita State ID is eligible. The relief only applies to parking tickets under $50 and traffic citations of either $45 or $75, and for up to six citations per person 

Food for Fines happens the first full week every month until May, excluding January. Donations are accepted in two locations on campus — the Student Engagement & Belonging office in Rhatigan Room 216 and the parking services building south of the university police department. 

Food for Fines does not cover appeal costs, but will still cover the fine if an appeal has been made.
