VIA Cares

VIA and the San Antonio Food Bank began in collaboration at the onset of the stay-at-home orders to make sure homebound residents wouldn’t go hungry during these challenging times.

VIA bus and VIAtrans operators have delivered nearly 6,300 boxes – approximately 176,000 meals – prepared by Food Bank staff and volunteers to homes and distribution points throughout San Antonio.

The San Antonio Food Bank serves an estimated 60,000 individuals each week in one of the largest service areas in Texas. Each box delivered contains enough food and supplies to feed a family of four for a week.That was before the coronavirus shuttered hundreds of businesses and thousands of jobs, leaving many with little resources and few options.

VIA will continue to deliver food bank supplies as long as resources are available. If you are home bound and in need of food, please call the San Antonio Food Bank at (210) 431-8326 to pre-register. Learn more about the Food Bank’s mission at SAFoodBank.org.
