How San Antonians can give (and receive) food assistance this Thanksgiving - Texas Public Radio

Thanksgiving is around the corner. Here are ways you can give and receive food assistance this holiday season.

Give help

Food Bank

The San Antonio Food Bank is running short on turkeys for Thanksgiving meals.

The food bank is seeing near-record requests for holiday help at a time of supply chain shortages and rising food prices at grocery stories.

The food bank asks the public to make nonperishable food donations at any Security Service Federal Credit Union branch... or at the red barrels outside Goodwill stores or H-E-B grocery stories.

The food bank also asks for monetary donations. A $15 donation can provide a turkey during the holidays.

Donation and volunteer information is at SAFoodBank.org.
