San Antonio Food Bank

In times of crisis, we must all help those who need assistance! Thanks to the Food Bank organization for the facilitation of food to the people who are in dire straits.

San Antonio Food Bank provides essential food for those less fortunate!

I am a 76 year old retired doctor who practiced 40 years in San Antonio. Through my practice the San Antonio community supported me and my family and gave us a wonderful life.. Because of my age and some medical conditions, I cannot actively help in the medical area now so must help where we can As a result we are fortunate enough not to require our stimulus checks but in a retired status we qualify. We are therefore sending them to you, and I am strongly urging all Americans who do not truly need the money to do the same. San Antonio has made many people prosper, it is now time to give back.

I just saw on CNN the thousands of cars from San Antonio, TX waiting for food from the Food Bank. I used to help when the truck would come to our church, and we were able to feed the community. Because of the loss of jobs due to the cornavirus, I am so saddened to see all those people who wait for a donation of food. I wish I could give more. I am 77 years old and am retired. Things are rough for all of us during this time. God bless the workers from the Food Bank. May the Lord protect you and keep you safe from contacting the virus or any other illness.

I am not a recipient of the food bank. I live in VA and just wanted to help in a small way.
May God Bless the volunteers and families in need.

I have volunteered for the food bank in the past and its amazing to see just what goes into this organization to help the city of San Antonio and surrounding area!!

San Antonio food bank is staffed by the most efficient, motivated, dedicated, resourceful people I have ever seen. They are able to do so much with so little. It is amazing! Their mission is to not just provide emergency food assistance, but to shorten the line by providing job training. An amazing volunteer experience!

I love to volunteer in the community kitchen! It is always a fun, productive environment!

Through my work, I have had the pleasure of partnering with the San Antonio Food Bank for several years. With every volunteer event I’ve had the pleasure of serving at the food bank, I am amazed at the impact this organization makes in the community. From senior boxes to the kids backpack program, the food bank offers programs to help all in the community. With every tour I’ve taken, I’ve been amazed by the innovation happening at the food bank. They truly use every resource at their disposal to ensure efficiency so that money received can go to where it is needed most...providing food to those in need. They not only focus on providing emergency food relief, but they also assist clients with signing up for benefits and even help clients find employment. The San Antonio Food Bank isn’t just the best food bank in the country...They’re one of the best non-profits In the country.

I have volunteered with the San Antonio Food Bank multiple times and truly believe their mission is being executed so well by their teams! They make their volunteer events enjoyable but also use them as a time to educate us about the needs of our community, inspiring us to help even more!

The San Antonio Food Bank is a great place to volunteer, plain and simple. It supports the noteworthy cause of providing food to people in need, provides an easy way for people of all ages to give back to the community, and offers tasks that are very accessible to varying skill levels. The staff is always willing to help and they make an effort to recognize each of the volunteers as an essential part to the Food Bank's mission. There are many areas where volunteers may assist, such as the freezer, warehouse, community garden, café, etc. In addition to being flexible with the area of work, there are also many times during the day that shifts are available, which helps for being accessible to people who have busy schedules. They are prepared to offer letterheads for verification of hours served after each shift; in addition, the process of scheduling shifts is simple and they will generally take volunteers who walk in unscheduled. They let you know exactly what you will be doing during your shift, who you will be benefiting from your hard work, and let you know how much of an impact you made by the amount of items sorted and prepared. Overall, the San Antonio Food Bank is great place to volunteer and they stand true to their moto of "fighting hunger, feeding hope".

San Antonio Food Bank helps to feed thousands of hungry, malnourished, and undernourished people. I want to thank San Antonio Food Bank for all they do, helping to keep so many alive. Thank you for being a beacon of hope here in San Antonio.

Hard work very hands on but quitr rewarding.
Pretty organized staff.

I volunteered with my class. Everything was clean and organized. Staff was super friendly and helpful. Only suggestion is spending a few more minutes in intro explaining how to properly pack and stack boxes and pallets. Also a white dry erase board to write commonly misplaced foods and what category they go in. Ie. frozen chicken tenders- meal versus poultry.

I volunteered at the Food Bank with a group from my school, Trinity University. I worked in the community garden pulling weeds and could not have had more fun. Additionally, I learned about how our volunteer hours greatly offset the labor costs of the Food Bank. I was surprised to learn that the San Antonio Food Bank owns several acres of land and harvests a variety of fortified and healthy crops. I think it is really cool that they decided to go beyond just accepting donations of food--they are actually producing it!

The San Antonio Food Bank is the main source of feeding those in need in our community, increasingly including those who are working but cannot make ends meet to buy sufficient food to feed their families. The San Antonio Food Bank is well connected to individuals and organizations in the community.

The San Antonio Food Bank is Amazing to me! A very few do a great work for so many. If ever there was an organization that goes above and beyond, it is our San Antonio Food Bank. They genuinely care about the people they serve, not only do they care that all have enough to eat, but they help people find resources to fulfill other basic needs. The volume of food that is brought in and sent out by the food bank is incredible, as is the number of people who can fall asleep tonight with food in their stomachs and a feeling in their hearts that they are loved. When you have plenty it can be hard to understand how someone could not have enough but the bitter truth is that all we have can be lost so quickly. I have been very blessed in this life to have never felt the pain of hunger. I am grateful to all who donate their time or money. It is a wonderful blessing to bless those in need.
Thank You,

The food bank is the main source of feeding the poor of our community. The number of families that come to our food pantry have doubled in the past months. We are extremely grateful to the food bank for having a large variety of fresh veggies, fruits and low cost items.
It's heart breaking to see children who are hungry and then see their happy faces as they leave with bags of food. Thanks to the food bank, feeding our families is a blessing.

Our partner agency loves the San Antonio Foodbank! We are able to purchase items for our sandwich meals at such a discount. We will be able to increase the amount of food we hand out as well as expand the number of meals we serve due to the savings we achieve from the Foodbank.
The online ordering system is so easy and efficient. We are able to schedule a weekly pickup and our volunteers can count on prompt service when we arrive to pick up our order. Also, the paperwork involved is minimal and so worth the effort.

We would not be able to serve the many people in our area who need help if we could not buy from the food bank. The staff is always courteous and helpful to all the volunteers who work in our food pantry.

I am a volunteer coordinator at a university in San Antonio. Whenever I have students volunteer at the SAFB they always come back with great feedback. They really appreciate how interactive their experience is and also that the SAFB staff does a reflection with them.

My daughter needed service hours for school, so we both volunteered at the San Antonio Food Bank. She had such a good time, she wanted to go back! We've volunteered three times, and each time done something a little bit different. Even though she has completed her required hours for this school year, we will both keep volunteering at the San Antonio Food Bank.

We use the Food Bank for a majority of food purchases. However I go 3 times weekly to pick up mostly vegetables and fruit and additional items in the small store. My experience with the quality and quantity of food we get is that its simply great. But what makes this area exceptional is the amazing employees that you have there. They are courteous, polite and cheerful and helpful, we are grateful to them for the service they provide us

Not only does the San Antonio Food Bank have great resources to support the community and other local agencies but their customer service is awesome! They are always friendly, responsive and willing to help.

They were well organized for the volunteers; gave great instruction; and made the experience extremely enjoyable. They made helping others a pleasure, not a duty or a chore.

This nonprofit has captured the hearts of a city. Organizations build incredible food can art displays to collect food for the Food Bank and inspire others to do the same. Businesses, community organizations, sports figures, politicians, religious organizations, and everyday citizens of San Antonio gladly and joyfully donate their time and treasure to stock and pack food for Food Bank distributions because they know great, healthy, and fresh food is hourly being distributed to the people in San Antonio and many surrounding counties that need it. The Food Bank welcomes hundreds of Food Pantries and helps them become heroes and friends to their neighbors who need food. The Food Bank Staff leaves no stone unturned in supporting food pantries and food programs. Our church's food pantry is the most popular and best supported ministry in the church. The results inspire the congregation. The Food Bank is a jewel in San Antonio's crown!

The need for food assistance continues to rise in San Antonio, and the Food Bank does a wonderful job of stepping up to help. As a teacher in a school district that serves children who live in poverty, I am very conscious of the impact of hunger on a child's ability to learn. The San Antonio Food Bank is doing God's work as they reach out to people in need.

I volunteer at SA Food Bank pretty often throughout the year. I enjoy it every time. I love how excited the workers are from beginning to end; it motivates us to keep working hard for 2-3 hours to surpass our goal. What SA Food Bank does for the community is by far outstanding. Everyday they are Fighting Hunger and Feeding Hope.

The San Antonio Food Bank is an extraordinary organization. I have been a associated with the Food Bank for over 5 years, serving as a committee member on numerous committees, a board member, and having had the honor of serving as board chair. The organization is made up of the most selfless, passionate and dedicated employees led by an extraordinary chairman and executive director, Eric Cooper. An efficient and well-run program, the San Antonio Food Bank is a leader in the non-profit world, an example of success for all non-profits, focused on community needs that exceed the boundaries of just the need for food. Incorporating nutrition, teaching, farming, food, and assistance with other government programs, the San Antonio Food Bank provides a holistic approach to caring for the community, shortening the food line and empowering individuals to a better life. I will always remain a supporter of the San Antonio Food Bank and its mission.

Our team at Oracle enjoyed working in the warehouse. It was quite a workout and best of all we met many wonderful people who we worked along side.

The SAFB is dedicated to serving the needs of many. Their commitment, dedication and focus is unmatched. Each member of the staff displays authenticity and understands the overall vision and mission. A top notch organization and one I am proud to be a part of.....

I am grateful to SAFB for helping with lunches, snacks and drink to the NEW Life Alliance Children. without SAFB it would be a struggle to service these needy children. God Bless SAFB

St. Helena SVDP joined the SA Food Bank April 2010. Before then we were only helping 40 families per month. Now with the same budget we are able to give food to an average of 125 families per month. We go to the Food Bank twice a month and the bonus is the fresh vegetables we get free.

The staff, from Jennifer the Order Clerk & Aaron in the order booth are very helpful. The young man who drives the fork lift always has a smile for us. This year I was having problems getting my turkey order in and Lou Guzman sent me to Roshunda who helped me. Our needy families will now have turkey for their holiday meal.

I am very satisfied and happy with the work you all do by helping the poor and needy in our church. The poor of this church depend on your food to be fed every 2 weeks. A majority of our clients have lost there jobs and they depend on us to feed them. God bless you, keep up the good work all of you SAFB employees. Thank you, Maria Pena

I am a volunteer with the Helping Hands Pantry in Spring Branch, Texas. We serve nearly 150+ families and without the help of the San Antonio Food Bank we would not be able to provide the assortment of foods and fresh vegetables to our clients. From the get go the SAFB has been exceptional in helping us keep the pantry full, along with the special shops for non-food items.

The entire staff at the San Antonio Food Bank is incredible and make us proud to be a partner agency.

I think this a great organization and they support a great mission helping the poor and needy. They are highly motivated, helpful and have a very positive attitude . Them doing there job makes it easy for us to do our job in the field providing food to those that need it. Thank You, James Dixon, Cushministry Director.

I am the director of a small food pantry that relies heavily on the SAFB. We get monthly deliveries to stock our shelves, and could not function without their products for our grocery bags - we could not afford to give the items we hand out without their help. The SAFB continues to improve their facility with new storage and new garden space. If I ever need help, there is someone I can call who will take care of me asap. The San Antonio Food Bank's staff are definitely committed to improving life and nutrition for all in need in their service area. South Texas would be a sadder place without them!

SA Food Bank is a dynamic organization with the incredible mission of "Fighting Hunger and Feeding Hope" across Southern Texas. The Food Bank moves about 25,000 pounds of food through the warehouse during each 3 hour session! This level of efficiency is due to the small staff's ability to fully utilize the volunteers. There are volunteer opportunities during the week, on the weekends, in the garden, in the office, in the warehouse, for younger children, for older adults, for individuals, for large groups, for fashionistas, for handymen, for teachers, for cooks... if you can breathe, you can contribute. This organization appreciates your time and really makes it count. For me, there is always a real sense of accomplishment after a volunteer session with the San Antonio Food Bank. The fact that my teenagers ENJOY volunteering here makes it even better.

The San Antonio Food Bank is a wonderful organization. The people that work there really care about their mission of helping to provide for those with food insecurities. They are very organized and are ready to help in all situations. They have gone over and beyond to help those of us in neighboring communities have access to their resources.

Without their help, it would be impossible to provide food for the people of Comal County. They have arranged food drops in neighboring cities to help us, because it is over 100 miles from our site to the food bank. The cost of buying food from the Food Bank is minimal and helps us provide food to more people than we could if we were buying it from the local supermarket.

I also thank each of the supporters of the Food Bank, who donate to make this all possible.

The SAFB is an excellent organization that is always striving to meet the needs of their clients and fellow non-profit organizations. Like any organization the San Antonio Food Bank has occasional glitches, but they always take ownership and proactively look for solutions. The San Antonio Food Bank ROCKS!!

The San Antonio Food Bank is arguably the best run non-profit in San Antonio. It's dynamic growth and ever expanding mission makes it the pride of the community. The economic efficiency and operational superiority are superior characteristics that any organization, profit or non-profit, could only hope to emulate.

The San Antonio Food Bank is a wonderful organization to work with in our mission to serve our Community. The employees there are always happy and smiling and will do their best to fulfill your needs. If there is a problem that arises they are always quick to fix it. But truthfully, I have not encounterd many problems at all.

They are willing to help our pantry with helpful tips and continuing education training. Many things I have learned there I can apply to my personal life as well as running my pantry. They are always willing to come out and help with our pantry events as well.

Louis Guzman and his team, especially knows of our budget limitations and they are always willing to find items that we can receive for little or no cash.

Our pantry feeds over 150 families per week, it is an awesome ministry that would not be available without the help of the San Antonio Food Bank.

We work with the San Antonio Food Bank regularly to get food for our church food pantry, to have truck distributions, to service our summer camp youth, to volunteer to help them, and more. We are pleased with the service and if we ever have any issues, we let them know and they rectify them as quickly as they can. Thank you for the work you do to keep the people of San Antonio fed.

The San Antonio Food Bank has partnered with our organization to provide food for the individuals we serve in the community. The individuals we serve have developmental disabilities and so many do not have a lot of resources and by partnering with Food bank, we can help ensure that they have a well balanced diet available to them. The staff at the Food bank are always helpful and they let us know of other opportunities in the community that our individuals might want to take part in.

The San Antonio Food Bank has been a great partner in assisting us with food for our families. All staff are helpful and friendly. It is a pleasure to work with them and an awesome resource to have.

The San Antonio Food Bank was a great place to do volunteer work. I had a great time and worked with great people.

I have volunteered and plan to volunteer more in the SA Food Bank garden. It takes a tremendous amount of work and knowledge to produce the large amounts of fresh vegetables harvested. It's very satisfying to be an important part of this organization,which is so committed to helping feed the citizens of San Antonio and surrounding areas.

I came here two years in a row for Roadrunners Give Back with UTSA. The staff was always welcoming and the Food Bank made special arrangements just to help us on the day we requested. The staff was very encouraging while we were preparing meals and I definitely look forward to working with the Food Bank in the future.

My son goes to peroicle school and since I can remember my son has been helping the food bank. Everytime we go we have a great experience meet nice people whom we work with . The staff are all wonderful in explaining the process and what we will be doing. The also give a little talk about what they are all about and how they help people in need. Over all its a great experience, they have numeous jobs to do so you don't do the same job everytime. The bldg and area itself are very clean and they are the most helpful persons you can ask for. We always have fun and also come out very satifed in knowing we have helped our community.

I love what the SA Food Bank does for our citizens! My kids and I enjoyed "working" at the warehouse. There were always people coming in helping everyone and we all stayed motivated! Thank you SAFB for allowing us to help in this cause during the summer.

It was my first time I volunteered for the San Antonio Food Bank. I enjoyed working there for a few hours and I was really impressed how hard working people like to volunteer. I will do it again to help feed the hungry.

My sister and I enjoyed working at the food bank and will be volunteering . They feel good about themselves knowing they have helped many people in need.

SAFB was easy to work with. I had free time, they needed help. Scheduling was easy although my help was a tiny fraction of the work they do everyday, they made me feel like I had made it all possible. Hats off to SAFB for doing a great job for those in need in San Antonio.

Hard working wonderful people at the San Antonio Food Bank. Thank you all for everything you do to help feed the hungry.

I have and will continue to volunteer hours to this wonderful organization that fills a vital role to our community. The added bonus is that I get to mingle with other like minded people and always leave with a heart of gratitude to all that make this happen.

I donate on a regular basis. They fulfill a needed role in the community. I would much rather see non-profit organizations with donor support do these tasks than public tax money dispensed by government bureaucracy.

I just returned home from a wonderful day at the San Antonio Food Bank. If you haven't visited this facility, it is a real eye opener to see all the amazing things that they are doing there. They have an outstanding group of employees, as well as hundreds of volunteers each day to help. They also have several training programs for people who will be out on parole, homeless people, etc. What a fantastic idea. They also have a wonderful garden where they are growing produce to be used by the various agencies they serve. What a great place.

My wife and I have been donating to the San Antonio Food Bank for several years. They are not only a good steward of the funds that they receive, they are committed to feeding our neighbors in need. They have consistently been recognized as one of the top food banks in the Feeding America network! They have a great team doing great work!

Beyond grateful for the experiences I have had during my volunteer time. The work that they do at the Food Bank directly impacts the community in a positive way. It's vital to ensure that families in need have someplace to go for help. A GREAT nonprofit organization.

Great organization! Good work being done for the city of San Antonio and surrounding areas!

on Oct 25 my church hosted a food fair, we call them " !!them Drive by FOODINGS" food arrived early, the team unloaded just like i had asked them to. they were very nice. we started early and finished with clean up before noon and the front of the church was clean for Sunday .looking forwarded to doing more food fairs on a Saterday so the working poor can get extra help ! thanks so much .margie white chapel hill umc

Food Bank is a great organization with a lot of enthusiasm for its cause! They love what they do and it shows!

I was just going to volunteer to hang out with my friends, but it turned into something that made me excited to volunteer again! Wonderful experience.

We volunteered at the San Antonio Food Bank one day with my coworkers (Humana). The facility was very efficiently run, and clean. Also, the employees were super enthusiastic and fun to work with. I was very impressed with the operation. I know they do good work in the community!

I like the thing that want you give but you have to have big size of clothes for children

As an employee of Wellsfargo I like to volunteer at the Food Bank to help the community. I enjoyed learning the process of sorting the food and packaging.

A group of us went from our church and helped out and it was amazing. There were so many people there yet everything was organized and fun and I walked away feeling a sense of pride in helping someone else in a secret kind of format. Any questions that we had were answered fully and someone always took a second to see how you were doing. I will definitely be back in the future to assist again and bringing my family to help out too.

My staff and I love the Food Bank! They are always willing to work with us on volunteering options. The staff are incredibly helpful and knowledgeable and make us want to keep coming back!
I recommend them to everyone I know!

My family of 5 volunteered at the San Antonio Food Bank with my job. They gave a good training, so it made the job really easy. My kids loved separating the food into categories. We talked about what foods were best for people in need so we can donate better in the future, and we were able to reflect on how fortunate we are. It was a great way to give back as a family, make a difference, and see the value of volunteering. We are looking forward to doing it again on our own.

My children and I really enjoy volunteering at the San Antonio Food Bank. It is amazing how organized they are. As a result, no volunteer is sitting around with nothing to do. Likewise, no one is over burdened. It is a wonderful organization and we love helping out there.

I had the great pleasure of volunteering with the SAFB after our middle school received a grant to provide fresh fruits and vegetables for our community. There is a great need in this area of SA and the food bank personnel were both courteous to our families and committed to making this program a great success not to mention that the program recipients came back to volunteer in order to reach more of the community.

I've volunteered at the Food Bank for two years now and I also love their partnership with Rackspace! I'm looking forward to volunteering on Thanksgiving Day! Y'all do such a great job guys.

As a social worker with a local school district, the SA Food Bank is one of the agencies I turn to most for assistance with the families I work with. Whether it is to begin an application for much needed assistance, job help, or any other service they offer, the SA Food Bank has been able to help. It is a much appreciated resource. Keep up the great work SA Food Bank!!!

Twice a year, I bring a group of 25+ co-workers to the SAFB for a morning of volunteering. We never know in advance what we'll be asked to do. Some days we've worked in the garden and other days we've worked in the warehouse. Wherever we are assigned, we always leave with tired bodies and encouraged hearts. The work done at the SAFB is so critical for our community. We are pleased to be able to participate in this mission--serving those most in need in our community. Thank you SAFB!

Very happy with the work of the San Antonio Food Bank.

The San Antonio Food Bank serves so many in need in so many ways! They are efficient in their procedures ensuring that the community receives maximum benefit rather than wasting resources on the organization itself. Proud to be a supporter!

I have volunteered over the years at the food bank, there are great people that work there and many volunteers that help as well, many families depend and benefit from the Food Bank. It is a great organization, and I am happy to help when ever needed.

Volunteering at the FOOD BANK in San Antonio is amazing. You leave there with such a satisifed feeling of making a difference and want to go back!
I look forward to my next trip there.

My 9 year old son and I volunteer at the San Antonio Food Bank whenever we have free time. I'm trying to teach my son that giving back is very much rewarding in itself. He loves going to help out. You will never know in life what may happen to place you in a position to be in need and I Thank God that there are places like this to help out when need be. Thanks

The San Antonio Food Bank provides a much-needed service to thousands of families each and every week. Thousands would go hungry every night without the Food Bank.

I have lived in San Antonio for 15 years and the San Antonio Food Bank is my favorite charity. I have seen them grow dramatically since I've lived here, and the community that they serve has increased and diversified greatly over that time. I appreciate that they treat their clients with dignity, providing them with a chance to choose their own food in some of their pantries, providing classes to children to learn how to cook, and even creating a catering company (which does a great job, BTW - I've been to some of their events). Their staff is wonderful and they provide terrific internship and volunteer experiences as well. As someone who has been able to get out of poverty myself, I greatly appreciate what they do for the south Texas community and gladly contribute to their efforts.

A weill orginized team with a positive attitude. I really enjoyed my time as a volunteer

Volunteering with the San Antonio Food Bank is a great experience. It is extremely rewarding to see first hand what a difference that they a making in our community.

This is an awesome place!! You guys do a lot for the community!

I am happy that I was able contribute for the good cause you are doing. I would like to come more frequently to be part of the excellent team to make a difference in many peoples life.

This past May, 2014, our student choir came to work at the food bank for several days. It was an amazing opportunity for each of us: sorting/boxing food, pulling onions, and working in the kitchen. The physicality was a great work place and all the personnel we encountered were well organized and provided us with great leadership. The whole experience would rate above 100%. Beyond grateful, FBC Master Design Choir

I work for a company that encourages its employees to participate in various volunteer events. The San Antonio Food Bank is by far the most rewarding event I've had the chance to be a part of. The folks that work at the Food Bank do an amazing job of getting the community involved in Fighting Hunger and Feeding Hope. I look forward to helping out every chance I get. This is a truly wonderful organization that is making a considerable difference in the lives of many families throughout South Texas.

I have been a part of the Food Bank and Haven for Hope for the last five years. Our company believes so much is giving back to this great community outreach that our director closes the office once a month so that the associates will have a opportunity to give back and sow seed into the people in our community. Our associates are paid for their time and those that take others are also paid for their gas mileage. What a great incentive to reach back and help someone else in their time of need. The Food Bank has changed people lives by giving them their basic essentials, but have changed the lives of the associates and leaders at Alliance Data by letting us be a part of the vision of Fighting Hunger Feeding Hope.

SAFB is a family outing for us and has helped our children (18 and 16) better understand the importance of contributing to those in need, working as a team, following orders and being a part of something larger than themselves. These are all great things and then we go our for pizza afterwards for some family discussion and bonding. The SAFB is a great cause and provides a tremendous impact to those in need in our community. It also serves other important needs to those to those who may not have thought they were in need of some help.

Great organization with a purpose! Well run and very organized. My children and I enjoy our volunteer time there.

The food bank is a wonderful organization helping so many people in need. I have volunteered with many of my daughters school functions.

My company, Ace Mart Restaurant Supply, held their annual Managers Meeting in the new meeting room at the Food Bank Facility. We had our meals catered by Catalyst Catering and everything was top notch. The food was prepared and presented expertly. All aspects of the meeting went smoothly, from the set up to the all the audio visual. No issues whatsoever. I would highly recommend having a meeting here.

The San Antonio Food Bank is the best non-profit I've had the chance to work with in my lifetime. It's not just their mission which is undeniable but it's the staff who are warm, efficient and appreciative as well as the fact that they keep their administrative expenses low so that more of the funding goes to serving the people of San Antonio and Bexar County. I highly recommend the San Antonio Food Bank - it will feed your soul!

SAFB helps the poor and needy add fruits and vegetables to they diet. these items can be expensive and people on a budget opt for things that are cheap and can last.

We are a food pantry that relies on our Church for funds and a few donations from some other generous Churches. Money is short most of the time and we would not be able to help our brothers and sisters of it wasn't for the San Antonio Food Bank.
Getting the fresh vegetables free is wonderful! Times are still hard for some of our families.
All the people who I have come in contact with have been very helpful, friendly and professional. If I have a question or concern I can email the person I feel that can help. We are so grateful for being a part of the Safoodbank. We appreciate everything that they do to help us.

Everyone was extremely friendly and helpful and it was an excellent experience for our UTHSCSA Nursing Class. Thank y'all so much for everything! I definitely plan to volunteer again some time in the future! :)

I went to volunteer for the SA Food Bank with my employer. I was impressed with the facility, the staff, the level of involvement and the number of programs that are offered to the public. But most of all, I was impressed with the impact that a few people, businesses and devotion can make.

As a volunteer, the work is easy but you can make such a positive impact in your community. The next time I went, I took my father-in-law, he had never done anything like it. I have returned several times more, each time, I make new friends. Volunteering for the food bank is very rewarding. I will continue to volunteer even after my school service hours are met.

In the words of my dear departed friend "MAKE AN IMPACT, EVERYDAY"

Being a Senior and with low income from being disabled..the SA Food bank is a blessing to us all. Before I was disabled I volunteered there by cooking for various groups they serve. I loved cooking for the kids and for moving forward inmates! What a treat to serve.

My daughter's and I volunteered and helped pack hundreds of bags og groceries for families in need. The staff goes above and beyond to make it a great environment. We look forward to helping out again!

I love volunteering at the food bank. Every opportunity I've had here has always been so much fun. I've recruited friends and they just loved the teamwork environment with other volunteers. We work quickly and efficiently to get boxes of food ready to be delivered and are usually done ahead of time. We get a system going, kind of like an assembly line, and just start cranking out food boxes. What a rewarding and fun experience this has been working with the food bank! I just love the morale around there, it's so personal and really gives you that feeling of accomplishment when the days work is done.

Thank you for what you do San Antonio Food Bank!

I needed volunteer hours to graduate from my university and the SA Food Bank was very welcoming and allowed me to come in anytime to make my hours. They are alway looking for volunteers and are very grateful for the help. I also enjoyed meeting the people and left feeling very humbled there. I felt like it was a small act but it till helped make a difference in these peoples lives. I would recommend volunteering there because you meet good people and you will see immediate results.

The volunteer coordinators always make the experience a rewarding one for all of the different groups that are volunteering at the same time. They really help make it a rewarding experience for me and my family. Whether it is sorting food, books, packing backpacks or packing meal boxes, we leave there feeling a sense of accomplishment for our task and very appreciated by the staff. We look forward to our volunteer time at the Food Bank.

Bravo to those who helped me when in need. Great attitudes even though mine was a little down. Wonderful support on filling out forms, making sure I had what I needed and even walked me to the car. I could not have participated without the support of these wonderful people.

Our partnership with the SA Food Bank not only provides food for hungry students and low paid staff with large families, but has helped to improve the retention rate of students with pressure to drop out of college to help feed their families. The continuous and generous support of the food bank employees is just one of the many ways the SA Food Bank not only provides generously for the hunger here and now, but concurrently invests our community's future.

What a great experience! The Food Bank is a well organized facility that gives volunteers many ways to give back to the community. My children and I have volunteered for several years, it is a great way to earn community service hours! The staff is always very polite and they give very clear directions as to how/what to do....they welcome you anytime! Try it.....

My teenaged daughters and I have volunteered here several times They are very organized, and have everything ready for the volunteers. My time there has never been wasted just standing around. We have done everything from making lunches for a summer feeding program, to repackaging fresh vegetables. They make volunteers feel appreciated, and are great about documenting service hours for those who need it.

One of the few places we can easily volunteer as a family and feel that we have contributed to the cause. I wish they would post more instructions on the walls of the work areas so that our efforts could be more consistent.

The SA Food Bank is well-organized and welcoming. I have volunteered there on my own, and also with the kids from Communities in Schools-San Antonio. Everyone always enjoys themselves and feels good about having done something to help. I especially like their efforts to provide fresh food to those in need.

They have a suitable job for everyone, including groups of school children to seniors. They are very organized & make it easy on the volunteers to work the hours the volunteer has available.

Our family has volunteered several times. I LOVE what San Antonio Food Bank does for our community.

Being in my young twenties with a highly active social life, I never thought that volunteering at the SA Food Bank would compete for a top tier spot in my choice of leisure time activities. However, there is something vastly rewarding about working there. The only shadow of disappointment I could ever cast on the SA Food Bank is a problem that is not intrinsic to the organization. The only time I've been let down is when I get in the flow of volunteering, and then suddenly they tell us there is nothing else to do - no food to sort, boxes to flatten, work to be done. Then it dawns on us that this lack of work isn't because we're diligent workers, but because donations have dried up and no more food can be processed to those in need. To any potential donors, realize your donations go even farther than those they directly serve. For the others that are fortunate enough to not need, the SA Food Bank provides a purposeful way to give back, meaning for those who have all the material goods of the world but none of its sustenance.

This organization helps over 58,000 people a week that are food insecure. It is amazing how all aspects of this operation come together. Great leadership and dedicated employees make it successful. Volunteers are well organized to ensure maximum efficiency.

Great organization!!!

I always wanted to know what volunteering was for the food bank was, and I was not disappointed, it was fun and the time just flew fast, specially with the music.

I volunteered at the Food Bank with a group from school. It was a fun environment with all of the staff encouraging us and there seemed to be a lot of camaraderie. All of the food bank staff were nice and clear with their directions so we were able to work quickly and efficiently and I thus felt like we really helped make a difference.

My entire family and I volunteer at The San Antonio Food Bank, and truly love it. We have learned so, so much about the local community, people in need, farming, food safety, programs available to help others, and on and on. The extremely upbeat and hardworking staff of The Food Bank unfailingly bring their high energy to every shift, no matter what work is being completed. Each member of my family takes tremendous pride in sharing with others that we volunteer at The San Antonio Food Bank, because its extremely altruistic and involved reputation is amazing here in South Texas: everybody knows The Food Bank! Frankly, "The San Antonio Food Bank" is just another way of saying "excellence". Our thanks to CEO Eric Cooper, his staff, the Volunteer Coordinators, the Admin and programs staffers, the Garden staff, the kitchen staff, the warehouse workers, and everyone there for gifting my family, via their kindness and dedication, with more than we could ever give back.

I have volunteered at the San Antonio food bank individually and with a group, and have always enjoyed my time there. The staff is helpful and encouraging!

This is an amazing non-profit. The staff is always amazingly cheerful and helpful. They have everything organized down to the dot on the "I". Not to mention the thousands of people that they help daily. I'm always happy to volunteer here.

The San Antonio Food Bank and its staff have been exceptional in assisting me in my time of most need.
You, see I had to stop working in my career field to help and assist my elderly and disabled Mother in her time of need.

I have needed to use up my 401K during these times in order to make ends meet and it is coming to an end. Mother is on a limited income herself; however because her income is four dollars over the level she does not qualify for SNAP benefits.

That is where the SAFB has been there for us. They have assisted me continuously during these times by directing me in the right direction to obtain assistance via Food Pantries, as well as giving of their time in filing documentations for me and making it possible to send these documents to Texas Health and Human Services Commission during these dire straits.

I have been blessed to be approve for SNAP benefits myself through the hard work of SAFB staff; even though its not much what I am receiving it is still of a huge assistance for my mother and I.

We are so thankful to the SAFB and their staff for giving of their time and energy every time we have sought their assistance.

They and the SAFB will forever be in our prayers. God bless you always!

The business that I worked for would do monthly food collection as a way to give back to the community. The Food Bank made it very easy with barrel drop off and pick up, and their volunteers were fantastic. The efforts of the Food Bank for Community Outreach have made a big difference in the lives of many San Antonians, and their Chef Program teaches people how to make their own way, without relying on fast food.

I have a strong sense of confidence whenever I contribute to the San Antonio Food Bank. I am very impressed with the Food Bank's ability to turn each dollar contribution into something like $10 worth of food for the people who need it. They get much more bang for the buck than I can.

The San Antonio Food Bank is a wonderful volunteer exerience for both individuals and groups. The Valero Energy Corp retiree group volunteers on a regular basis and always enjoys the opportunity. The staff is very organized and clearly instructs volunteers on both the job task and the impact it has on the community. Whether sorting food donations or packing food boxes, the work is suitable for almost all ages and very rewarding.

The San Antonio Food Bank does a lot to help the people of San Antonio weather they are young or elderly they help these people to receive the food they need too keep them from going hungry

The San Antonio Food Bank provides food once a month to people in our parish where I work. I see first hand how much they provide to our community, redistributing food to those in need. I'm happy to count myself among their donors because I know that my donation becomes a part of their larger purchasing power.

During my experience with the Food Bank, I was exposed to a highly transparent and professional organization with friendly, knowledgeable staff. It was pretty clear everyone was on the same page

I've had the privilege of volunteering alongside the extraordinary team at SAFB on a number of occasions and can't stop singing their praises! The care and compassion of the team is so far-reaching in San Antonio. The organization truly runs like a well-oiled machine. So impressed and so touched by the caring people at SAFB!

America is to great a country to have hungry people, yet we do, but the Food Bank is all about feeding people in need and I give knowing that they spend my donation to do just that. It is truly a "Non Profit". No bloated administration expenses. The donations get to those that need it. Their tops on my list!

My wife and 2 sons helped out with other SSFCU volunteers. We had a great time helping out the less fortunate of San Antonio. We enjoyed meeting and working with new people. The regular staff were very helpful and did so much to make sure we had everything we needed so that we could serve the public. We were having such a great time we hated to leave and let the next shift get started.

I love volunteering at the Food Bank its a chance to get to know new people and to help feed others who are not as fortunate as we are.

It's an organization that truly puts the mission of feeding our fellow neighbors in need of assistance first. They do amazing work in the community that impacts the lives of men, women, and children alike.

This nonprofit organization is one of the best. It uses it's scarce resources in order to feed not only San Antonio but multiple cities around Bexar county. I love volenteering here because it is fun and also while having so much fun you are also doing good for all the hungry around the county. The slogan of this food bank is "fighting hunger feeding hope" and that's what I hope to accomplish whenever I come to the San Antonio Food Bank!

The San Antonio Food Bank does a wonderfol job of helping those in need for our community. Every dollar that is donated provides a meal for a child, adult or senior. When I toured the facilities, I was impressed at how organized everything was, the conscious environmental efforts, and the caring of the staff. The large gardens will provide fresh produce for many families.

THE S.A.FOOD BANK IS THE MOST OUTSTANDING NONPROFIT ORGANIZATION THAT I HAVE EVER BEEN INVOLVED WITH AND ON THE BOARD OF OUT OF 6. THE MANAGEMENT AND LEADER OF THIS ORGANIZATION IS BY FAR THE BEST . ERIC COOPER IS A LEADER PERSONIFIED . MOST EVERY NON PROFIT WOULD LIKE TO HIRE HIM . JUST ASK THEM ALL. THAT'S A REAL LEADER. EVERY WORD HE SPEAKS ARE TRUE EXPRESSIONS FROM HIS HEART ABOUT THE FOOD BANK. JUST ASK THE PEOPLE THAT DONATE THE LARGE DOLLARS. HE IS A LEADER AND AND INNOVATOR. GOD BLESS THE S.A. FOOD BANK . THANK YOU GOD FOR HIS LEADERSHIP.

The San Antonio Food Bank is all about their motto "Fighting Hunger...Feeding Hope." This organization is focused on meeting this most basic and important need in our community and I am happy to support them through donations and volunteering. The volunteering events are really well organized and fun. They always do a report at the end of the volunteer sessions to give the volunteers an idea of how many meals / families will be impacted by the work accomplished - very rewarding!

Raymond C. H. I love my volunteer role in the kitchen as a chef and a huge supporter of the San Antonio Food Bank for the fact that I get to see all the people behind the scenes and all the love and energy they put forward to do everything they can to serve and support the San Antonio Food Bank and all the branches they reach out to. I have been a volunteer here for 4 years and looking forward to many, many more. I take my chef hat off to all the donors,volunteers and employees. God bless all !!!

I am thrilled to support the San Antonio Food Bank. I believe it is a wonderful organization, committed to helping others. Eric Cooper has a dream job, where he makes a real difference in so many lives. I have had many discussions with Eric Cooper on how the program is operated and the innovative way he raises money, utilizes volunteers and other cost saving measures to maximize the benefit to those who need it most.

I am proud to be a volunteer and wish I could do more.

Martin Wilson, PE, PMP

I am a donor to the San Antonio Food Bank. It is something I do because it helps so many in our community. The Food Bank is a great source for those in need. I feel proud to help them help others. It doesn't take much and I could be asking for help from the food bank ! ! !

When I first met Eric Cooper and heard his story, I was hooked. San Antonio Food Bank has the perfect leader to accomplish amazing things in San Antonio. We are one of the most successful Food Banks in the nation, reaching more children, adults, and seniors than ever before. The diversity of the many programs and services is mind-boggling which allows the outreach to meet so many worthy needs in our population. San Antonio Food Bank is a nonprofit organization that really sets the standard for how nonprofits should operate.

I volunteer at a food pantry in one of San Antonio s most impoverished neighborhoods. The San Antonio Food Foodbank provides us with the best variety of food for our brothers and sisters. We have access to good healthy food for our pantry along with items that necessary for heathy living. The SAFB knows that good food is essential but we also have access to soaps detergent cosmetics caps and once we were given a huge box of sportswear which the children absolutely loved. Our folks get vegetables which are ridiculously fresh from the SAFB. Many of our clients are working parents who are helped tremendously by the San Antonio food bank I remember as a child that my parents on occasion had to visit a food pantry: I recall a huge block of cheese a bag of pinto beans and a bag of rice. The San Antonio Food Bank is not your fathers pantry. I personally see the care love and devotion the staff puts into their work day in and day out and it is truly inspiring.

There are so many hungry people in San Antonio and surrounding Texas cities and rural areas. The San Antonio Food Bank provides groceries for countless hungry families. They do a great job fighting hunger and "tiding" people over until their situation improves.

I am so proud of the people who selflessly volunteer their time in the warehouse, disribute food, plant and maintain the gardens so people can have fresh produce. They are "angels" and enough cannot be said about the great work that they do.

Susan MacVicar

We have been volunteers at the Food Bank for 7 years and have seen the great work that gets done there by the staff and the other volunteers. The volume of food that get sorted and then distributed is amazing. The warehouse and food store staff are always friendly, helpful and go out of their way to help the volunteers. San Antonio Food Bank should be recognized as an exceptional non-profit organization.

I have seen their work first hand, as a child in need of their help and as an adult lending a helping hand as a volunteer and donor. Their work is never done and every bit they get counts. Nothing is unwanted. It showed me the generosity people had for others in need so I made a promise to my mother and myself that I would always help others in need. Now as an adult with a great job, I volunteer when I can and donate every chance I get.

I have always been very impressed with the San Antonio Food Bank. They do a fantastic job of informing the public of the needs with concrete statistics presented in a professional manner. The growth of their facility is very impressive yet practical. The S.A. Food Bank recognizes volunteers and food pantries for their progressive efforts. The San Antonio Food Bank is often referred to as a one stop shop in that they provide not only food, but so many resources to the community - clients, volunteers, and starter nonprofits/food pantries. All of their staff are always extremely personable.

We donate to the San Antonio Food Bank every year because we know the money will be well spent and does a lot to counter hunger in the area. They perform a great service.

I work for the Post Office and yearly we have a food drive. During a couple of these food drives I've volunteered to work in food distribution areas. These people are fantastic in making sure needy families get enough of the right foods for their families. Every postal carrier I know respect and admire the work this fine organization does.

Excellent Run Organization. it manages inventory and keeps a clean and safe shop better than the for profit retailers. It's amazing how far they stretch the donation dollars. $1 a meal?!! Awesome! They make volunteering easy and fun and get creative with it. This organization can teach the for profits a thing or two and it is a model organization for non-profits.

I volunteer at the headquarters twice a week, working in the warehouse or Kids' Kitchen. The staff are dedicated and their morale seems high. Sometimes there isn't time to learn a skill that would be useful for regular volunteers (e.g. how to fill out paperwork when bagging groceries) but the staff give the regulars the opportunity to take more responsibility than the occasional workers enjoy. I plan to keep on coming!

The San Antonio Food Bank provides food for families in tough financial times. They think of everything! When school is out for weekends or holidays, the Food Bank steps in. Food is sent home with students in need, in a backpack to ensure that they do not go hungry over the coming days. The S.A. Food Bank truly cares about the individuals and families who walk through its doors.

I am a professional with 25 years experience working with economically challenged individuals. In those twenty five years I have never worked with an agency whose staff is as caring, kind and professional as the staff at the San Antonio Food Bank. My calls are always returned and in a timely manner. My requests are always handled with the utmost professionalism and every effort is made to accommodate. My experience with the San Antonio Food Bank says they are a team and every member cares. Great job SAFB!

I have been on both the receiving and donating/volunteering end of the services that the San Antonio Food Bank provides. They are extraordinary in their efforts to servicing the community. They are tireless, efficient, & organized. They have touched so many lives; it is a humbling experience to be a part of their organization.

The staff at the San Antonio Food Bank is fabulous in providing the best of service in every way. When I deliver food for whatever collection, the staff is on-the-spot to transfer it to their warehouse.

A rather unusual effort was to send a refrigerated truck and appropriate receptacles , to pick up food at a hotel kitchen at 9 PM. Our political organization had guaranteed considerably more meals for a fundraising dinner than we had guests participating. We had to pay for the meals, so we contacted the Food Bank about collecting the food amounting to our extra meal orders. Even at that hour, they responded and were grateful for these special meals for clients.

My daughter and I have volunteered at the SA Food Bank and we think it is a great way to help in a small way towards the BIG way that SAFB helps so many "food poor" people in our region. From a donor perspective, I have only one or two other organizations in mind that do so much, so efficiently. Being a donor is a great way to help show my kids what it really means to be deeply blessed to always have food to eat.

I signed up with the company I work for and really enjoyed my first volunteer experience at the SA Food Bank. I was in the sorting room and didn't realize the detail that went into making sure all of those donations were properly handled, sorted and later distributed to other organizations for families.

It's great work the Food Bank is doing for such a large area. I will absolutely volunteer again!

The food bank uses volunteers very efficiently and communicates on the same day how your service helped the organization. As a first time volunteer it was impressive to see the respect for people's time and effort.

I HAD to go volunteer somewhere for work to recieve credit for community service. I joined in with a group that was going to go so I would at least know somebody there. However, as soon as I arrived the people there were super friendly and welcoming. That day my group was tasked into making lunches for summer school kids. We all lined up in an assembly line and had the best time! I think we actually broke a record of lunches made! Then during the tour I was able to feel the passion that each employee had for what they do and who they do it for. I was so moved by these people and how much of a difference they make in the SA community, that ALL of my United Way donations go to The Food Bank!

Please don't ever stop doing what you do!!! :D

This is an outstanding organization which helps so many people get "over the hump" and become self-sufficient. The process they have in place to get the food sorted and to the proper recipients is nothing short of amazing. Everyone who has ever wanted to find an appropriate volunteer opportunity should look at the SA Food Bank. It is very fulfilling work and the education about who gets helped and when and why was very eye-opening for me as I have always been a blessed person. This is a great non-profit !!!!!

The San Antonio Food Bank is one of the best non-profit organizations in the county. I have spent years working in the non-profit arena - from direct service worker up to senior management. So, I have been able to experience a wide range of non-profit activity from the exceptional to the ridiculous. The San Antonio Food Bank is clearly the hands-down exceptional. The bulk of donations and money collected go to providing services directly to those in need. And the services the SAFB provide are relevant and innovative. The administration is constantly coming up with creative ways of partnering with the business and volunteer communities to broaden the scope of services to those in need. It's a great organization that is deserving of being recognized as one of the top non-profit organizations in the country. Mike Phillips, San Antonio, TX

The San Antonio Food Bank does an amazing job by providing for those families in need. I have volunteered in several occasions and have enjoyed every single one of them. They do such a great job even though it seems like they have a small staff. The staff have been extremely inviting and organized, I've even started taking my thirteen year old to volunteer as well.

The San Antonio Food Bank is one of the most impressive relief organizations I have ever seen. From the immaculate, well organized and efficient receiving, stocking, packing and distribution systems to the public reception areas and outdoor amenities, the Food Bank exhibits the highest possible standards for a facility of its type. The staff is superb and the entire atmosphere of the San Antonio Food Bank is just exceptional. Five stars in every way. Just amazing and I am grateful to have an opportunity to volunteer in such a wonderful facility.

As a volunteer at the San Antonio Food Bank for the last five years each opportunity has been unique and enlightened by the results at the end of the day. The people are courteous and treat you with respect. This is one of my favorite agencies to do volunteer work.

The San Antonio Food Bank is well organized and offers an incredible volunteer experience. It allows volunteers the opportunity to make a real difference in their community. Folks are friendly and helpful. The money raised goes to those in need and the food is distributed so that families can eat.

The work of the Food Bank is very important to so many people in San Antonio. I know many people that have benefited from the service that is provided.

My husband and I volunteered to help put together emergency kits and first aid kits for Seniors last month They had two shifts of volunteers, totaling about 800 volunteers. They had us organized and working in no time, and had enough work for everyone to do! This was a really rewarding organization to volunteer for. We will be doing it again. we highly recommend them, and commend their good work on behalf of the San Antonio area.

People feeding people. That is what the Food Bank is all about. Their passion for providing for those who need assistance during trying times is amazing. Working at the warehouse having a hands on experience with the donations is so rewarding. Giving back is what they do and they do it well with the limited resources they have. What an amazing group. Thanks for letting volunteers in to experience their passion which in turn helps us to go out into the community to get others involved. Yeah Food Bank!!!

I have been a volunteer at the San Antonio Food Bank several times over the past 5 years. Each time it has been a wonderful experience. They are very well organized, and make sure each volunteer understands the great value of their time to the community. When I think of how much of an impact they have on hunger in my community, and how they do so much with so little, I want to get on the phone right now and schedule my next time to volunteer!!

I strongly support the San Antonio Food Bank. They are well organized and work with numerous community partners on a variety of programs to address food insecurity. They do a great job helping individuals in need.

This is one of my all-time favorite agencies. I have worked in the public housing business
arena for almost 40 years and SAFB has consistently provided excellent services to the communities
lying outside the City of San Antonio. SAFB has changed the lives of some many people in our
community I am sure that they cannot be counted. Great staff, excellent services, ALWAYS GROWING AND EXPANDING and dependable. They take care of business. THANK YOU! This agency is top of the line!!!

Growing up the youngest in a family of six children and a single mom, we often didn't have enough to eat. Giving back to an organization that helps fight hunger and feed hope is extremely important to me.

Employees from our workplace have helped at the San Antonio Food Bank numerous time. They're always organized and ready to put us to work. They're extremely gracious and it's obvious how much they appreciate our help.

I am a member of the staff at UIW. I volunteered at the SA Food Bank one Friday afternoon. I was very impressed with the facilities. The size and scope of the complex and the use of alternative energy sources was quite logical. The job I did was help sort and re-box food by category. I had fun and would be interested in volunteering again.

Terri

I like the way people at the food bank are personally invested in helping others. They have a passion for fighting hunger and it shows in every action they do, whether they are hosting an event, giving nutrition classes, helping inmates learn a trade or simply sharing their stories. The Food Bank provides food to many people throughout our city.

With only 2% administrative costs, this nonprofit produces amazing results for funds donated. I feel most comfortable contributing to the San Antonio Food Bank so that those who have been hungry in San Antonio will not be hungry again.

Volunteering at the San Antonio Food Bank is very rewarding! They stretch the donations of food to help the most people they can. Everyone on staff has been great to work with and really have a passion for helping feed the San Antonio Area families that are in need. I learn so much about what the San Antonio Food Bank does each time I volunteer, and their staff makes it fun! I strongly recommend you support the San Antonio Food Bank monetarily or by volunteering! You will not be disappointed!

Volunteering was an amazing experience and will defiantly do again!

I had contacted the Food Bank about donating because a friend of mine's father had passed away and wanted donations made in lieu of flowers. The person I contacted was extremely helpful and even offered a tour of their facilities. Unfortunately, I've never been able to take the time to make an appointment, but the experience made me want to continue to donate. Each year, I include the San Antonio Food Bank in my United Way contributions. They are one of the non-profits with the lowest overhead costs in Texas. I know my money is going towards an incredible cause when I donate.

Our students enjoy helping others during the holidays. Giving back to the community is what we instill in our students. The San Antonio Food Bank makes it very easy to hold a food drive. They provide all the necessary materials and accommodate our school schedules to make this happen. The Food Bank also provides volunteer opportunities to our students for graduation purposes. This organization makes a positive effort to keep food on the table for those who need it the most.

I am a volunteer at the food bank at Haven for Hope and being there working with Becky is just so amazing she is such a wonderful person and to see the happy faces on all the people that come in for their meal it's just so wonderful

The staff and leadership at the San Antonio Food Bank are comitted to their misssion. They are great stewards of the resources that are given and understand that they are in the "helping-people" business. They help educate others on what resources are available and are dedicated food super heroes.

SA Food Bank does so much for the community in San Antonio and beyond, even running a food pantry as far north as my town of New Braunfels. The food bank keeps me updated on needs and events without being annoying, too. I'm grateful to have such a great organization in central Texas that does so much to tackle hunger here.

Our company has had the pleasure of working with the San Antonio Food Bank conducting a food drive for our area. They were very helpful in assisting us to set up our food drive. Great Job!

Volunteered with my two school aged boys and had lots of fun!
