Attendees are asked to bring donations of spaghetti sauce (in cans, not in jars) or packages of spaghetti noodles for the Interfaith Community Services Food Bank.
The gathering will be held March 7 at the Muslim Community Center of Tucson, 5100 N. Kevy Place. Seating will be from 6-6:45 p.m. and the program will begin at 7 p.m. Free. 520-405-6039.
