Love this idea!

Issued a parking ticket ahead of this holiday season? Turn it into something good!🧸

Starting November 1, the Toys for Tickets pilot project lets motorists resolve an eligible Town of Midland parking ticket by donating new, unwrapped toys and/or non-perishable food items of equal or greater value than your fine.

The project is running between November 1 and December 4, 2026, and all donations will be delivered to the Salvation Army Midland. 🎁
