San Antonio Food Bank Review

Loved volunteering in the outdoor garden sowing seeds!

Great place to get service for food, friendly staff, well maintained

Great organization feeding 58k per week in 16 areas surrounding San Antonio. Great place to volunteer with your kids or organization.

I take my hat off..for you guys..helping those in need...

There really nice people and helpful.. I recommend anybody who need for fiod.

Very helpful and appreciative!!!!
Good experience.

When u need any thing they willhelp uinallkinds of ways and they will helpuasmuch as they can

Because the people with whom I interacted were wonderful, somewhat difficult at this time, thanks

Quick and easy place to get food supplies, they just need to give more in the way of canned food when dealing with single people

Great for the community and is fun to volunteer there

Excellent service, very friendly, hard working crew!

The wait wasn't to bad comfortable chairs the people I encountered were very helpful and friendly

Takes three days to get food...not worth the effort when you have a disabled child that is hungry everyday.

The nicest people I've ever met great place to volunteer it's a great organization

Very important part of the community in helping with hunger.

Volunteered with family to sort out food for those who are in need. Staff is great at explaining what to do and is helpful in answering questions that you have. You get to meet people like you and come together to help others

Helps people in need. Take my students there to help pack food.

I've only gone twice for church food pantry but, pretty neatly organized and place is huge! My church orders ahead once a month and they have a cold section for free items that we can get some extra stuff for the Pantry! You take your receipt inside they tell you which spot to park in and they bring pallet out for you to load! Reality is that it's pretty simple! But, it's a real drive from Converse !

Disgusting run around, everyone else I know, have full time jobs and get food all the time, I asked for a one time help and was totally disappointed in the system, this SA food bank only helps their own family members.

This is the best place for Job help, Shelter, benefits what so ever

Was upset due to the fact that there was two of us in the car I'm handicapped in my provider and they would only let us have one Pantry order she needed the pantry order cuz she doesn't make much money

Great clean, safe place to volunteer for you, the family, co workers, church family, anyone!

Everytime I volunteer here I always have a great time. Probably the highlight of my month is when I can come back. Great atmosphere and a good opportunity to help those in need.

Called twice during operating hours and had to leave a voicemail, but voice mailbox was full.

Great location to meet with friends. Service is typically above par. Bring your hunger - portions are generous.

Grateful to be able to make a difference in helping our community

Great experience. Everyone needs to volunteer time and money.

Awesome staff, great cause. Always puts a smile on my face!

Only with appointment not early not late not overnight parking

Very organized and friendly environment to volunteer in

They always help me with what I need and are always polite.

I'm calling right now and I still have not got any assistance!!

The work they do here is amazing, and the people have a passion for helping others. So many volunteers giving their time to feed those who can't afford it.

SOS has volunteered thousands of hours here at the SA Food Bank, and the staff always does a fantastic job with our volunteers! Thanks for fighting hunger and feeding hope!

Give them money. For the dollar you spend on a can to donate Eric can get a full box. It's brilliantly run, and I trust them more with my charitable dollars than I trust myself. Highly efficient caring.

I just called them They don't actually give you food they only help with signing you up for snap or tanf or job help, I was planning to go since I lost my job and snap hasn't kicked in yet so I figured i could get food for my son and I. they gave me a list of churches that have a food pantry its a little mis leading to call yourself a foodbank but you dont actually hand out food :(

The San Antonio Food Bank is like a one stop shop for example, you can get food, apply for food stamps, baby supplies (car seat etc), help with employment, volunteer, community service hours, culinary certification, nutrition classes,they offer High School Equivalency and English for Professionals Classes and more

This place is great dropped off some canned items for the company i work for and they really are an honest bunch of folks working there. The facility was clean and looked great the staff was very helpful unloaded all of the boxes and wouldn't let me help any then went inside to get my receipt and laughed and joked with them in there. All in all the place and the people running the SAFB are amazing. Keep up the good work guys.

To start it all I had to register prior going to the food thrive in Traders Village Flea Market and I was told to have a valid identification ready. When we got there was a 3 mile plus of slow of a line just to wait to get in to the place. There were thousands of people which made me think not everyone was registered like me. Then we finally got into the parking lot where we had wait even more; we waiting in the car in the heat a total of 5 freaking hours. Honestly at first I didn't care waiting that long since we are going through such tough time plus on top of our own struggle the Covid-19 has us unemployment and stressed out with anxiety. Once I finally got there they didn't ask for my identification which confirmed my suspicions that not everyone was registered. Then I was told to open my trunk and receive the food. All I got was two two big sacks of potatoes, two sacks of ONIONS some in bad state. And one freaking box of celery. I don't want to seem ungrateful but this is not good enough to survive on. These are not real food to make a actual meal. We need real food and not a humiliation.

ALWAYS very helpful with assisting on reading papers n medical assistance., Mainly Food assistance also. Very polite and positive people working n volunteering here.

Great place to delivery , very nice peoples here and quick unloading . Thanks

Very interesting place. Lots of donations coming in. Nice to see someone giving to the needy.

Volunteered here with my UTSA Predental society peeps. Such great experience!

A great resource for the community managed be good people.

Do good for Southwest Texas. Support the SA Food Bank.

I would rather go here then to hhsc any day they are way more helpful and nice and it takes half the time

Very cool volunteering you should definitely try it

They dont give food and the lady did the paperwork wrong for the foodstamp so end up with nothing... Receive no help

Horrible! Applied for benefits but declined because I make enough money supposedly. How idk I pay all bills on my own and because of those bills I haven't ate in days because I don't have money. But yet I make to much money. Body getting sick from not eating and literally throwing up water everyday.

Im disabled and in a wheelchair and they were not very helpful at all .
