SAN ANTONIO \u2013 KSAT Community and \u201cTexas Eats\u201d are teaming up with the San Antonio Food Bank and Meals On Wheels for a vital \u201cFill The Truck\u201d food drive on Monday, Nov. 10. The event officially runs from 9 a.m. to 7 p.m. at Pinstack on 410, located at 742 NW Loop 410; donations will be accepted as early as 7 a.m.<\/p>\n

The plan is simple but powerful: a large donation truck will be parked at Pinstack to collect as many canned and nonperishable food items and unopened pet food as possible in one day; no cold or refrigerated items will be accepted. Every donation counts and will directly help feed neighbors struggling with food insecurity.<\/p>\n

This food drive comes at a critical moment. The ongoing federal government shutdown and the recent announcement that Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) federal food aid will not go out on Nov. 1<\/a> have put extra pressure on local food resources.<\/p>\n

The San Antonio Food Bank is preparing for a surge in demand and is ready to \u201cempty the warehouse\u201d<\/a> to ensure no one goes hungry. They estimate needing about 50% more food in the coming weeks \u2014 an additional 12 to 13 tractor-trailer loads on top of the 25 loads they typically distribute each week.<\/p>\n

With nonprofit organizations also impacted by the shutdown, this community effort is more important than ever. As a community, we can come together to fill the truck and support families in need across San Antonio.<\/p>\n
