“I work over 40 hours a week in outreach, and yet, I still find myself asking, 'Why is my banking account negative?' It's been a struggle to catch up on bills, but I'm so thankful for the San Antonio Food Bank. It’s a lifeline for me and my family." - Sharla V. We're here to help.

Fighting Hunger... Feeding Hope
About us
FIGHTING HUNGER AND FEEDING HOPE IN SAN ANTONIO AND SOUTHWEST TEXAS. 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. The work to end hunger in Texas is a joint effort with anti-hunger champions from all communities. Hunger in our communities impacts us all – regardless of race or gender. That's why it's important for the San Antonio Food Bank to commit to equal-opportunity hiring practices.
