KSAT Community phone bank raises more than $40k for Meals on Wheels S.A.

SAN ANTONIO – In a 13 hour-long phone bank Thursday, the KSAT Community phone bank for Meals on Wheels San Antonio received $40,081 in donations!

With this money, MOWSA will now be able to give each senior in its program an emergency food kit that costs $7 during COVID-19.

The emergency food kits can help feed a senior up to four days.

“We are so grateful for the support of our community during this time," said Vinsen Faris, CEO of Meals on Wheels. "The money raised through the KSAT phone bank will enable us to provide over 5,700 food supply boxes which have 4 days of food inside to those who are most at risk at this time. We can’t say thank you enough!”
