ACT Chief Minister and Minister for Territory and Municipal Services, Katy Gallagher, today announced that over 2,900 kilograms of food was donated to charity as part of the Food for Fines initiative run by Libraries ACT last month.
Chief Minister Gallagher explained that total of 6,458 items were donated across Libraries ACT’s nine branches with Dickson Library receiving the most donations with 1,213 items of food donated.
