“Thanksgiving on the Mayflower” donations with Community Food Bank of Southern Arizona

November 12, 2019

Another way to give back this holiday season.

You still have a couple of weeks to plan your Thanksgiving meal, but there’s a nonprofit getting a jump on the festivities.

The Community Food Bank of Southern Arizona is inviting everyone to donate during Thanksgiving on the Mayflower celebration from 6 a.m. – 6 p.m. on Thursday, November 14.

It’s going to be an all-day effort to get the huge moving van filled with food donations.

If you’ve got a busy schedule, but would still like to donate to the Community Food Bank of Southern Arizona, you can do so online. In addition, the first $25,000 in monetary donations will be matched by Tucson Electric Power.

Most Needed Food Donations Include:

Peanut Butter
Oatmeal
Low-Sugar Cereal
Low-Sodium Canned Vegetables
Tomatoes
Canned Fruit
Canned Tuna and Chicken
Whole Wheat Pasta
Rice
Beans
Nuts
Seeds

One of the most convenient things about the event is that you can drive through the parking lot and volunteers will collect the goods straight from your car.

Although, if you do get out of your car, you’ll be able to meet with local radio personalities from MIXfm, KLPX, and KFMA, and also snag a photo with Tom the Turkey.

Matt Sterner

At a very young age, Matt Sterner was gifted with the artistic ability to masterfully roll a burrito to the highest of standards, but the wrapped medley of delicious innards wasn’t his first love. Matt’s first true love was a combination of reading, writing, and creating. He grew up reading comics, the ingredients list of his shampoo and conditioner bottles, choose-your-own-adventure books, and the Scrabble dictionary — something he found useful when challenging his grandmother to a game.

He attended college at New Mexico State University and graduated with a degree in Digital Filmmaking. One of his favorite classes was screenwriting because he became responsible for the story’s birth before it came to life on-screen. After school, Matt took on numerous positions at a local television station in Tucson. From dealing out stories about heartbreak to producing “fluffier” content for a lifestyle broadcast, he learned what it takes to adapt to the many emotions the world of media can stir. Since 2017, Matt has dabbled in the culinary world of Tucson as well as San Diego, California from time to time.

If you’re in the mood for strange stories, head over to his pride and joy, wonkytimes.com. And in case you’re curious — yes, after all of this time, he still manages to roll a killer burrito.
