SAN ANTONIO – In Military City U.S.A., the San Antonio Food Bank has always helped serve active duty military families and veterans needing its help, however, during the coronavirus pandemic, the need is even more apparent.
Accustomed to seeing military members in uniform helping to unload and distribute items at the food bank, Cooper said a recent encounter he had in the food bank’s lobby was a sobering moment.
“He kind of hung his head and said, ‘No, I’m actually here to get food,’” Cooper said.
“Just because that’s the man that I am.”He said thankfully, a friend told him about the San Antonio Food Bank.
“It’s amazing to see so many people giving back to our community, you know, because this is San Antonio,” Brazier said.
