Giving thanks and giving back go hand-in-hand during the holiday season.
This year, the Community Food Bank of Southern Arizona is matching donations on Giving Tuesday, which is Tuesday, December 3.
Turning Giving Tuesday into Giving Foods-day, the Community Food Bank will be matching your donation to the first $20,000 that’s collected. One of the perks of donating is the Arizona Charitable Tax Credit. If you’re eligible you can get a $400 tax credit or $800 tax credit if you’re part of a married couple who’s filing jointly.
Being that Arizona has the fifth-highest rate of childhood hunger in the country, giving back and donating to the cause is important every year.

Last year the Community Food Bank of Southern Arizona distributed 42 million pounds of fresh produce throughout Southern Arizona. Some of that even went to other parts of the country.
Donating is pretty easy, too. All you’ve got to do is donate on their website. It’s a small step that can make a huge difference!
The Community Food Bank of Southern Arizona is located at 3003 S. Country Club Rd. For more information, visit communityfoodbank.org.

More about MattAt 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.
