Gamez Law Firm and the San Antonio Food Bank held a Thanksgiving food distribution Saturday morning at 1201 Donaldson Ave. Volunteers gave out turkeys, food boxes and bags of produce to neighbors. The event was designed to ease costs for families dealing with rising grocery and gas prices.
Volunteers distributed 200 turkeys, 200 food boxes and 200 produce bags, according to the report. Carmen Gomez said the event was expected to serve a little over 100 families. Gomez said she and Joe Gamez grew up in San Antonio and believe in giving back to the community.
The San Antonio Food Bank says one in five residents and one in four children in the city face hunger. The law firm plans at least five more turkey giveaways in the San Antonio area, including stops on the East Side, North Central, West Side and South Side. People who want to donate or volunteer can contact the San Antonio Food Bank, which may hold more Thanksgiving giveaways.
