SAN ANTONIO, TX (December 16, 2014) -- Thousands of generous families across the San Antonio area helped the San Antonio Food Bank meet and exceed its million pound goal during the agency’s month-long, city-wide Food4SA drive in November. Security Service Federal Credit Union has been the lead sponsor for the annual drive since its beginning 12 years ago.
In all, 1,604,448 pounds of food was collected – enough to make nearly one million meals. “It was a record year for the food drive thanks to our members and the San Antonio area community,” said Brandy Ralston-Lint, vice president of public relations for Security Service. “Their generosity is so much more than just a donation of food – it’s a message of caring and hope for those in need.” Food4SA is sponsored by Security Service, H-E-B, Magic 105.3, News 4 San Antonio and the San Antonio Express-News.
Security Service also participated in the Food Bank’s annual turkey roundup, collecting 203 frozen turkeys to give to families for Thanksgiving.
