ADVOCACY
As part of our mission, we lead hunger and poverty advocacy efforts in San Antonio and Southwest Texas. The San Antonio Food Bank Government Relations team works with our state and national colleagues to educate public officials in our 16 county service area about the impact of food insecurity in our communities and to identify policy solutions to help put families on the road to health. Mobilizing state and federal lawmakers to support legislative solutions for hunger relief is a critical part of our work. Advocate with us. Together we can solve hunger.
