SAN ANTONIO – The Big Give is a great way to donate, but the list of hundreds of nonprofits can be a little daunting. If you’re not sure which nonprofits you should help, we’ve rounded up a few ideas for you.
- The San Antonio Food Bank - $1 can provide seven meals for the food insecure.
- Meals on Wheels San Antonio - Delivers meals to the homes of local seniors. Just $10 can buy two nutritious meals for homebound seniors.
- Dress for Success San Antonio - Empowers women and men to transform their lives with new careers. The group does consultations and resumé building, and provides outfits to people who need clothes for interviews.

- Morgan’s Wonderland - Our Inclusion Tuesday friends, the theme park provides a safe, clean and fun environment for everyone to enjoy, with free admission for guests with special needs. The park may be closed for now, but Morgan’s Wonderland still does a lot for the community. Just $10 will help put a smile on their faces.
