“The way people are stepping up matters. This is a San Antonio food bank serving 10,000 households yesterday alone. Thank you @feedingamerica.”
More than 5,000 families attended the food bank’s mega distribution event on Thursday at Trader’s Village on the South Side to receive food as COVID-19 continues to spread across the city.
The food bank handed out fruit, frozen items and other food that is expected to last families for the rest of the month of April.
The food bank has another mega food distribution planned for April 17 at the Alamodome. Pre-registration is required. For more information, click here.
