Owens Community College's Novel Idea for Paying Fines
Owens Community College has a novel idea for helping needy families over the holiday season. You can pay your parking violation √ by donating canned foods or toys of up to $100.00.
Each Can will be worth $1.00 and Toys are worth $2.00 in fines for every $1.00 in their value. Owens Community College participates in Operation Breadbasket, Perrysburg Christian United, Salvation Army and Marine Corps' Toys for Tots program.
This year, food baskets, toys, and clothing will be available to be picked up by needy families at the township fire department, 26711 Lime City Rd., from 9 a.m. to noon on Dec. 15. Everyone is encouraged to make donations for the many families in need of assistance, this isn't limited to fine violation donations.
Chief Cope said this is OCC's fourth year participating in Operation Breadbasket. The college has forgiven thousands of dollars in fines in return for canned food and toy donations. "Our goal is to provide a little extra incentive for individuals to donate to Operation Breadbasket," she said.
The OCC collection point is inside the entrance to the safety and security office, which is in Alumni Hall on the Oregon Road campus in Perrysburg Township. Donations are accepted around the clock. Donations also are accepted 24 hours daily at the township police and fire stations, located next to each other.
Annie Herman, a Perrysburg Township dispatcher who coordinates Operation Breadbasket, said this is the program's 30th year.
Outerwear such as coats, hats, jackets, gloves, scarves, and boots are particularly needed. They will take anything as long as it's in good shape. A set of dishes, for instance, would be very welcomed. We have a list of 100 families from the Salvation Army."
The biggest single donor so far this season was the Perrysburg schools, providing almost 8,000 items.
Terry Teopas, principal of Frank Elementary, the schools' coordinator for the effort, said Toth Elementary collected the most items among the schools: 2,000. "It's a fun exercise for the elementary school students," he said. "They count the items, and it's sort of a math lesson."
Perrysburg is a wonderful community and beautiful place to live. Let me help you find the perfect home for sale in Perrysburg.

House Hunting Tips-If it doesn't Fit don't Commit
Big Mistakes- House Hunting Tips
Falling In Love with a House that's above your Price Range
It's best to know your price range by getting a pre-approval. And try starting out on the lower end of your price range, there may be no need to search in your higher range.
Thinking you have Found a One of a Kind
Even if you have a long wish list, chances are that there will be more than one home available that fits your list. Another home that is similar may be less expensive and be the dream home for less. Keep in mind that the builder of the home you love built more than one, with many similarities. House Hunter Patients required.
Out Bid again and become Desperate
You've been search for a while now, and get out bid or even start giving up on your wish list. Don't make a purchase out of fear it's not going to happen.
Overlooking Major Problems in a Home
Consider your finances when purchasing a home that has structual, appearance or location issues. All three of these can become costly upon ownership or even at the time you wish to sell. House Hunters Beware
Thinking You can Fix This or That - no problem
Too often buyers know they can fix it but do you really have the TIME and Budget to do it. Evaluate all the expenses and time realistically. How long can you live with it, how long will it take you to do it.
Missing the Market Condition Opportunity
The market condition has allowed home buyers to purchase New or Almost New Homes for less than it actually cost to build. Materials for repairing haven't declined at the same rate as home value has. House hunting Toledo areas, you'll see it.
Fitting into your lifestyle
If it doesn't fit - don't commit
IF it Fits be ready to commit
It is hard to balance out being too anxious and being patient. Sound decisions are based on knowing what will make you happy. House Hunter tips
Offering More than a House is Worth
Getting yourself into a home that is selling for more than the banks appraisal value, could become a nightmare. Unless your positive, for what ever reason, don't start out under water.
