Do you think local food drives are enough to address hunger in your community?
News 4 San Antonio has launched the Food 4 SA food drive with a goal of collecting 4 million pounds of food. The campaign runs through November 30 and is partnered with the San Antonio Food Bank, H-E-B, Security Service Federal Credit Union, and San Antonio Express-News.
Why it matters
The drive is designed to help San Antonio families facing hunger ahead of the Thanksgiving holiday. It draws on partnerships between a local food bank, a grocery chain, a credit union, and a newspaper to reach residents across the city.
The campaign's stated goal is 4 million pounds of food collected between early November and November 30. The extraction does not report progress toward that target or results from prior drives.

San Antonio Express-News subscribers will receive donation bags with their newspapers, and monetary donations can be made through the Food Bank's website.
Timeline

Philanthropy Context
The Food 4 SA drive follows the recurring pattern of holiday food collections run by the San Antonio Food Bank with grocery and media partners. The extraction does not provide prior-year totals to show whether this year's goal is larger or smaller than earlier efforts.
Residents can drop off non-perishable food at any Security Service Federal Credit Union branch or neighborhood H-E-B during the campaign. Shoppers can donate turkeys at designated H-E-B locations on the listed Saturdays.
The takeaway
Donating non-perishable food at a nearby Security Service Federal Credit Union branch or H-E-B before November 30 is a direct way to support the drive.
What happens next
Turkey collections are scheduled at H-E-B locations on November 7, 14, and 21, and the campaign closes November 30.
