The Town of Innisfil is pleased to announce that this year’s ‘Scrooge the Ticket’ campaign raised nearly $8,500. Between November 11 and 25, anyone who received an Innisfil parking ticket had a unique alternative: instead of paying the fine, they could donate to charity.

As a result of this campaign, the Troy Scott Community Fridges and Innisfil Food Bank each received $4,210. The Innisfil Food Bank also received approximately $73 worth of toys and non-perishable goods.

“Scrooge the Ticket has become an annual holiday tradition that helps bring joy and relief to families in our community,” says Mayor Lynn Dollin. “I’m grateful to our Municipal Law Enforcement Officers for continuing to bring this initiative forward and to our residents for their generous support. This year’s donation amount is the most we’ve raised in a single year since the program began!”

“The Innisfil Food Bank is honoured to be the beneficiary from the proceeds of the Scrooge the Ticket campaign,” says Donna Sawyer, Innisfil Food Bank Coordinator. “With the ever-increasing needs of our community, we are grateful for the cash infusion especially during this holiday season. Looking forward to another decade of partnership!”

Since its inception ten years ago, Scrooge the Ticket has raised more than $41,000 in cash donations, new toys, and non-perishable food items to support the local community.
