The drive will supports Tempe Community Action Agency, Aris Foundation, Lost Our Home and Women4Women, according to a news release from the city. The drive is set for noon-4 p.m. Saturday in the parking lot of Pyle Adult Recreation Center at 655 E. Southern Ave. in Tempe. Needed donations include non-perishable food, feminine hygiene supplies and pet food. A more extensive list of items to donate is available here. Donees are asked to mask and to stay in their vehicles during the drive. "Tempe Neighborhoods Together (TNT) has created an active partnership with those who serve the needs of the impoverished and food insecure. There is significant need in our community and Tempe neighbors have been willing to help," said Judy Tapscott, a member of TNT's food drive planning committee in the news release. "The collection of 6,100 pounds of food in the last food drive has shown this to be true. The needs continue to escalate." Tapscott added that she hopes Tempeans will continue their generosity.
