The Tampa Bay Lightning are asking fans to help feed local families during the team's annual Thanksgiving Food Drive on Saturday.

The food drive will take place before the Bolts' game against the Red Wings on Ford Thunder Alley, with all donations benefiting Feeding Tampa Bay.

The Lightning Foundation is asking fans to bring shelf-stable foods, with several items listed as especially needed.

Those items include canned vegetables and fruit, stuffing, turkey gravy, boxed mashed potatoes, packaged protein, macaroni and cheese, broths and soups, breakfast items, peanut butter and rice.

The drive is scheduled for Saturday, Nov. 14, as part of pregame activities on Ford Thunder Alley.

Donations collected during the event will go to Feeding Tampa Bay to help provide food to local families during the holiday season.
