It’s beginning to look a lot like the holidays here in Tucson.
For instance, the Community Food Bank of Southern Arizona’s Holiday Harvest Food and Fund Drive is right around the corner. From 6 a.m. – 6 p.m. on Thursday, November 16, the organization will be set up at Sam’s Club and taking donations at the 4701 N. Stone Ave. location.
They’ll be collecting non-perishable food and monetary donations with live broadcasts throughout the day on 94.9 MIXfm, and support from 96.1 KLPX, Rock102.1, and 1490AM ESPN Tucson. Hey, maybe one of the DJs will give you a shoutout on air if you stop by with some gifts.
“Before our Holiday Harvest Food Drive on November 16, hold your own mini-food drive! Pick up a food collection box at any of these sites.”

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.
