News 4 Tucson is proud to announce our third annual Kristi's Kids Season 4 Hope Drive.
UPDATE: The Community Food Bank is still in desperate need of food, as they are far short of what they need this year. They will have refrigerated trucks at the next three Season 4 Hope live drives (see below for dates and locations), so please bring food - especially turkeys and hams - to make sure no family goes hungry this season!
Beginning September 12 and running through December 19, KVOA News 4 Tucson and our generous sponsors will be collecting new clothes, new toys and food for those in need in our community. We will also be hosting a series of live drive events with Kristi Tedesco - click here for a list of upcoming drives.
The Community Food Bank, Emerge Center Against Domestic Violence, Gospel Rescue Mission, and Toys for Tots will receive all donations collected during this drive.
News 4 Tucson is happy to announce the generous participation of the following sponsors:
