Food Drive + Fine Forgiveness

Food Drive

Saturday, April 18 - Sunday, April 26, 2026

Help your community by bringing in fresh or non-perishable food or new, full-sized personal care items! 

Donations can be used to clear overdue fines from your library account. 

• 1 food or personal care item= $1.00
• Donations apply to overdue fines/ late fees only. (Not processing, collection, ILL, replacement fees, book sale, printing, etc.)
• Each item can only be applied to one account. (You cannot have $1.00 split between accounts.)
• No limit to the number of items you can donate. (If you have $15.00 in fines, you can bring in 15+ items!)
• No credit will be issued on accounts.
• No items with expired labels will be accepted.
• Donated items must be brand new, never used.  

Donations will be distributed by the Urbandale Food Pantry as well as the library's Community Fridge.
