Gamez Law Firm and the San Antonio Food Bank distributed 200 turkeys, 200 food boxes and 200 produce bags Saturday morning at 1201 Donaldson Ave. The giveaway was designed to ease the financial burden on families facing rising grocery and gas prices.
Why it matters
The San Antonio Food Bank reports that one in five residents and one in four children face hunger in the city. Rising grocery and gas costs are squeezing household budgets ahead of the Thanksgiving holiday.
The giveaway distributed 200 turkeys, 200 food boxes and 200 produce bags, roughly double the projected count of a little over 100 families. The number of families who actually received items was not reported.

Philanthropy Context
The giveaway follows the Food Bank's documented estimates that one in five San Antonio residents and one in four children face hunger. Private law-firm giveaways of this kind add seasonal capacity to the Food Bank's ongoing distribution work during the holiday period.
Families in San Antonio facing rising grocery and gas costs can receive free turkeys and food boxes at upcoming giveaways. Residents should watch for announcements of the planned distributions on the East, North Central, West and South sides of the city.
The takeaway
Seasonal giveaways can fill short-term gaps for families, but the Food Bank's hunger figures show the need extends well beyond the holidays. Residents who can spare food or time can check with local food banks about ongoing donation and volunteer needs.
What happens next
Gamez Law Firm plans at least five more turkey giveaways across the San Antonio area on the East Side, North Central, West Side and South Side, and the San Antonio Food Bank may hold additional Thanksgiving giveaways.
