San Antonio / Texas / United States
The San Antonio Food Bank is a nonprofit organization in Texas that serves as a clearinghouse by receiving and storing truckloads of donated food, produce and other grocery products. In 2005, it received more than 27 million pounds of food, produce and grocery products. These products are distributed to more than 400 human service agencies that help southwest Texans in 16 counties. By partnering with SAFB, these agencies save more than $40.5 million in food purchase costs. These values represent almost 1.8 million meals per month going to 40,000 poor and hungry families in the San Antonio area. Through our network of partner agencies, the SAFB served 21,300,000 meals to poor and hungry individuals and families this year. Donations are received from local businesses, churches, foundations, corporations, government, civic groups and individuals.
