The San Antonio Food Bank has partnered with Security Service Federal Credit Union, News4WOAI, and Cox Radio to raise 1 million pounds of food from Nov. 1-30, 2008. Grocery bags will be inserted into the San Antonio Express News on November 6th. After the bags are filled with food donations, they can be dropped off at Security Service Federal Credit Union locations in San Antonio, Schertz, Boerne, and Pleasanton.
