Feeding Hope

Disaster Relief at the
San Antonio Food Bank

In times of disaster, one thing remains true: we take care of each other. When disaster strikes, food becomes more than a daily need, it becomes a source of comfort, hope, and strength. Whether responding to emergencies across Southwest Texas or supporting sister Food Banks through the Feeding Texas and Feeding America networks, the San Antonio Food Bank stands ready to help. From providing emergency food and water to mobilizing volunteers and distributing critical supplies, we are committed to nourishing our communities and helping families recover.

Donate To Help Restock Food For Neighbors Affected By The Storm

Right now, we’re fighting hunger on two fronts.

Every day, the San Antonio Food Bank works to provide food to neighbors experiencing food insecurity across our region. At the same time, when disasters strike, we mobilize quickly to provide emergency meals and food to communities impacted by severe weather and other emergencies.

Your gift helps us meet this emergency need while ensuring we can continue providing food to neighbors facing hunger every day. Every $1 donated helps provide 7 meals, making your support go further for families across our region.

Your financial support is needed now—and it can make an immediate difference for families recovering from this storm.

Our power was out for two days.

The storm felt like it came out of nowhere. When we lost power, I woke up my family and we moved to the safest place in our house. After the wind died down, we saw that we had damage to our fence. Without power, we lost everything in our fridge, so this food will help us to restock quickly.
