USA : A municipal court and library in the United States have allowed food donations to reduce or eliminate fines for things like traffic violations and late book returns. Before Thanksgiving, residents of Chickasha, Oklahoma, can have their fines reduced or eliminated by depositing non-perishable food in municipal court.
