ACS donates 1,000 pounds of pet food, rice to San Antonio Food Bank during coronavirus pandemic 

Many organizations and businesses have stepped up and donated hundreds of items to the San Antonio Food Bank to help the agency meet the high demand during the coronavirus pandemic.

On Monday, the city’s Animal Care Services donated more than 1,000 pounds of pet food and rice to the food bank after hearing the agency’s needs have increased in recent weeks. Last Thursday, the San Antonio Food Bank aided about 10,000 households in a record-setting giveaway at a South Side flea market.

“When we heard San Antonio Food Bank’s and Mayor Ron Nirenberg’s plea asking for food donations last week, we knew we had to find a way help,” ACS wrote in a Facebook post.

ACS added that the items given to the food bank came from the “generous donations” the community has gifted the shelter over the last few weeks.

“We were happy to share with our friendly neighbors and thank them for helping out our community in their time of need! We will get through this, TOGETHER,” ACS said.
