SAN ANTONIO FOOD BANK

The San Antonio Food Bank is one of the largest hunger-relief organizations in Southwest Texas, serving a 29-county area and distributing millions of meals each year to families in need. Founded in 1980, this nonprofit organization has become a vital community resource through emergency food assistance, urban farming, workforce programs, and benefit support services. Beyond food distribution, the organization collaborates with over 500 partner agencies, including shelters, churches, senior centers, and community pantries, providing meals and resources to more than 105,000 individuals every week.
This summer, the San Antonio Food Bank is launching its second annual Restaurant Weeks: A Farm-to-Table Experience, running June 6 through June 20. Participating restaurants and bars across San Antonio will feature specialty food and drink items inspired by produce grown at the organization’s Urban Farm. For every featured item sold, $1 will be donated to the Food Bank’s Summer Meals for Kids program, helping provide seven meals to children facing food insecurity during the summer months. This initiative aims to support local restaurants during the slower summer season while spotlighting fresh, locally grown ingredients cultivated right here in San Antonio.
