Food4SA
Food4SA is a community-wide effort each November to raise a million pounds of food for the needy in South Texas. The month-long drive benefits the San Antonio Food Bank and is sponsored by Security Service Federal Credit Union along with media partners Magic 105.3 FM, News 4 TV and the San Antonio Express-News. One million pounds of food is enough to make more than 700,000 meals or feed over 35,000 people three meals a day for six months! Every $1 donated buys 10 pounds of food toward our goal. Here's How You Can GiveDrop off non-perishable food items at any one of the 23 participating Security Service locations in San Antonio, Boerne, Schertz or Pleasanton, anytime during the month of November. Donate online using the Virtual Food Drive, where your $1 is worth 10 pounds of food toward our goal.

Virtual Food DriveFood drives are a wonderful way to get needed food to the hungry men, women and children of San Antonio and Southwest Texas. But not every workplace has the necessary storage, equipment or on-site employees to make it work. Enter the Virtual Food Drive. With easy-to-use technology, the San Antonio Food Bank can help your workplace organize a Virtual Food Drive with fun, point-and-click simplicity similar to online shopping. Transactions can be completed within minutes. Donors may use any major credit card for payment on a secure site and receive an e-receipt immediately. To encourage participation, you can even arrange a friendly Virtual Food Drive competition with another department, office location or rival company. Food Bank staff can help you set-up your Virtual Food Drive, which employees access by clicking on a link in a company distributed e-mail. Each Virtual Food Drive can be customized with your company's logo. The program administrator can track the progress of the Virtual Food Drive in real-time and send out updates. By participating in a Virtual Food Drive, your financial contribution to the San Antonio Food Bank will be dedicated to the purchase of food that is most needed by the 40,000 families who rely on our hunger-relief programs every month.
