San Antonio Food Bank faces increased demand due to federal cuts, shutdown

Serving 29 counties across Southwest Texas, the San Antonio Food Bank provides for over 577,000 residents in need each year.

President and CEO Eric Cooper said the nonprofit provides aid to around 120,000 individuals per week.

What residents should know: The food bank helps to nourish the community in three different ways.

“We frame our work in the three areas that we call food for today, food for tomorrow, and food for a lifetime,” Cooper said.

Food for today allows those in need to go straight to the food bank to get supplies, while food for tomorrow involves long-term food assistance programs.

Lastly, food for a lifetime involves indefinite services that assist residents with employment and career development.
