San Antonio Food Bank: Hours, Location & What to Know Before You Go

If you search "food bank san antonio hours," this is the page you wanted: the San Antonio Food Bank's address, its walk-in and phone hours, and the honest details that decide whether the trip is worth it — including the closer option most people miss.

The basics

• Address: 5200 Historic Old Hwy 90, San Antonio, TX 78227 (the Food Bank's main campus on the West Side)
• Walk-in help: Monday–Friday, 8:00 AM–5:00 PM
• Phone: (210) 337-3663 — the phone line runs Monday–Friday 8:00 AM–6:00 PM and Saturday 9:00 AM–3:00 PM
• Website: safoodbank.org

What happens when you go

The Food Bank's main campus is where San Antonio's hunger-relief network is run from — food comes in from farms, stores, and drives, and goes back out to families directly and through hundreds of partner pantries, churches, and meal sites across the region. At the campus itself, staff can help you with groceries and connect you to programs like SNAP (food stamps) — the phone line is the fastest way to ask what to bring and what you may qualify for before you make the trip.

Before you drive across town: the Food Bank supplies most of the pantries in our directory, so there is very likely a partner pantry much closer to your home giving out the same food. Check the map or browse free food by ZIP code first — and keep the campus for when you need the Food Bank's own services, like benefits help.

Holiday hours — what we know

As of late October 2026, the Food Bank has not posted special holiday hours or closures for Thanksgiving or Christmas week. The regular hours above are what stands. Holiday weeks are exactly when schedules change, so call (210) 337-3663 before you go during a holiday week — and watch our Thanksgiving and Christmas guides, which we update as announcements land.

One mix-up to avoid: the Food Bank's November campaign Food4SA is a food drive — a way to give food, not a place to pick it up. If you need food, use the hours and the directory above, not the drive.

Other ways the Food Bank helps

Beyond the campus, the Food Bank runs mobile distributions that bring truckloads of food to neighborhoods and towns around San Antonio — see our mobile pantry guide for how those work and how to find one near you. And if today is an emergency, start with what's open right now or our emergency food help guide — the fastest plate is rarely a drive across the city.
