Fans bringing a donation can drop them off between 5-8 p.m. at the Big River Steel Plaza. Running with the basketball on Monday night, the tipoff for the game is set for 7 p.m., as reported by FOX13 Memphis.
Additionally, Local Memphis details that those who contribute to the food drive will also receive a buy-one-get-one voucher for a concession stand item, also redeemable at the December 7th game.
