The mission of the San Antonio Food Bank is to fight hunger in Southwest Texas through food distribution, programs, education and advocacy.
The San Antonio Food Bank will collect and distribute 57 million pounds of food this year. Each week, the Food Bank serves 58,000 individuals throughout 16 counties in Southwest Texas. The Food Bank distributes food through a network of 530 partner agencies as well as special distribution programs including programs focusing on children and the elderly. As the San Antonio Food Bank can turn one dollar into ten pounds of food, monetary donations are a great way to make a significant difference in our community.
Please register your Food & Fund Drive and specify San Antonio Sports Corporate Cup. You can find information and the registration form by clicking here. All food and funds collected will support the Food Bank’s summer campaign to end childhood hunger (Million Summer Meals for Kids).
Collecting Food:
Printing paper boxes work really well for Food and Fund Drives. You can go to local copy/print shops and ask for the boxes. They are sturdy and still manageable when filled with food, plus you can have fun and decorate them.
The San Antonio Food Bank may be able to provide barrels for food collection as well. Please limit barrel requests to those drives that will collect more than 250 pounds of food. This helps keep our transportation costs down. Additionally, delivering collected donations also helps us keep costs low PLUS you can get a tour of the SAFB when you schedule your drop off and get a chance to see your donation in action! But do not forget to mention that this drive is for Corporate Cup and leave your name, company, and phone number so we can credit you appropriately.
Want to engage that employee who forgot their food at home? Consider hosting a Virtual Food & Fund Drive in addition to your ongoing food collection. For every $1 donated, the San Antonio Food Bank can provide 10 pounds of food to families in need. More details are available online at the link provided above.
*Collection restrictions
You will receive credit only for the items collected through an employee driven Food & Fund Drive during the designated dates which are January 1 – May 8. You must specify on your registration form that this food & fund drive is intended for your Corporate Cup 2020 contribution. Donations must be weighed/counter and accompanied by a donation form when dropped off to the San Antonio Food Bank, or picked up by SAFB trucks.
