KSAN Food Drive Collects 1,972 Pounds of Food

KSAN staff collected 1,972 pounds of food during the KSAN Cares Food Drive, held from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. on Friday, November 6, at the Food King grocery store at 2 S. Main St. The food was given to the Concho Valley Regional Food Bank.

Why it matters

The donation helps stock local pantries as demand rises during the holiday season. The Concho Valley Regional Food Bank distributes food across the region, so the collection reaches households beyond San Angelo.

The drive gathered 1,972 pounds of food from donors in one day. The Concho Valley Regional Food Bank serves community pantries across 13 counties, and the source does not specify how much of the donation will go to each.

Roadmap

Local food banks such as the Concho Valley Regional Food Bank rely on community drives like this one to restock pantries that serve multiple counties. The drive feeds into an established regional distribution network rather than a new one.

Residents who want to help can donate food or time to the Concho Valley Regional Food Bank, which serves pantries across 13 counties. Donations of food and volunteer hours directly support the pantries that distribute to households in the region.

The takeaway

Small, one-day community drives can make a measurable difference when they feed into established regional food networks. Checking local food bank needs before the holidays helps direct donations where pantries need them most.
