The food bank’s network of food pantries and mobile food distributions remains fully operational and open to the public for help.
“The combination of crises brought on by the pandemic and this past week’s winter storm has created a need for food assistance like we’ve never seen before,” said Eric Cooper, president & CEO of the San Antonio Food Bank. “This weekend alone we distributed food to 75,000 individuals. In order to meet this demand, we need the support of our community.”
If you are able to help donate food, the San Antonio Food Bank is in need of peanut butter, cereal, tuna, pop-top food items, beans, rice, water, macaroni and cheese, full meals can/box, chili and soups, canned lunch meats, pet food and baby food.
Every $1 donated to the food bank provides seven meals.
