Will You Help Serve Bright Futures This Summer?

Across Southwest Texas, more than 200,000 children in low-income households count on school-provided breakfast and lunch. But when summer break begins, that reliable source of nourishment disappears—leaving a 20 million meal gap in our community.

By supporting the San Antonio Food Bank’s Summer Meals for Kids campaign, you’re Serving Bright Futures—ensuring children have access to the nourishment they need to thrive when school is out. Your generosity helps us provide no-cost summer meals at local Summer Meal Sites and stock pantry shelves for families through food distributions.

Give Summer Meals

Your support is essential to ensuring that no child in Southwest Texas goes hungry when school is out. Across our communities, thousands of children from low-income households depend on free or reduced-price meals at school to get the nutrition they need. But when summer break begins, so does a season of uncertainty for these families. Without school-provided meals, many kids face empty plates instead of full bellies.

By committing to help the San Antonio Food Bank Serve Bright Futures, you can bridge this gap, providing nutritious meals to children who would otherwise go without. Together, we can turn summer from a time of struggle into a season of nourishment, growth, and opportunity. Because no child should have to wonder where their next meal will come from. Will you join us in making a difference?
