There are plenty of things to worry about as the holiday season gears up, but for hundreds of families in need in Tempe, Thanksgiving dinner won't be one of them.
The Tempe Diablos partnered with the Arizona Coyotes, Tempe Elementary School District, and United Food Bank to host their 'Feed the Need' food drive at McClintock High School in Tempe, Ariz. on Saturday. The event provided 300 families with Thanksgiving meal baskets that included green beans, corn, stuffing, and - of course - a generously sized turkey.
Recipients were selected after the school district administration worked with principals and counselors in each of the district's 26 elementary schools to identify those most in need. From there, the Diablos partnered with the Coyotes and United Food Bank to fill boxes to the brim with all of the time-honored fixings that families have grown to love around the holiday season.
