| About us | The San Antonio Food Bank takes pride in fighting hunger, feeding hope in our 16 county service area. We believe that no child should go to bed hungry, adults should not have to choose between a hot meal and utilities, nor a senior sacrifice medical care for the sake of a meal. Founded in 1980, The San Antonio Food Bank has quickly grown to serve 58,000 individuals a week in one of the largest service areas in Texas. Our focus is for clients to have food for today but to also have the resources to be self-sufficient in the future. Fighting hunger is our number one priority but we also serve to educate and provide assistance in many other ways. We achieve this through our variety of programs and resources available to families, individuals, seniors, children, and military members in need. |

There are many differences across faith traditions, but there are more commonalities than we think! One of these is the tradition of fasting.

One year ago today, the #SAFoodBank had an emergency food distribution at Traders Village. 10,000 cars – 50,000 individuals – were served in the midst of the economic crisis brought on by the COVID-19 pandemic. Together we are San Antonio Strong.
