Today in San Antonio, Saturday Nov 14, 2026: Turkey Collection at H-E-B Leon Springs Today, 10 AM–2 PM — Plus 10 Places Serve Free Food

Today, Saturday, November 14, 2026, the Food4SA Turkey Collection is happening at H-E-B Leon Springs, 10:00 AM–2:00 PM — and our verified directory lists 10 places for free food on Saturdays. Here is today, in time order, for givers and for neighbors who need food.

Today, Saturday Nov 14: Turkey Collection, 10 AM–2 PM at H-E-B Leon Springs

Food4SA, the San Antonio Food Bank's annual November campaign (Nov 1–30), holds its Turkey Collection today, Saturday, November 14, 10:00 AM–2:00 PM at H-E-B Leon Springs, 24165 W I-10, Suite 300, San Antonio, TX 78257. Bring a frozen turkey or nonperishable food — the Food Bank says this year's Food4SA goal is to collect 4 million pounds of food. Details: the Food Bank's Food4SA page (210-431-8326). Background: Food4SA in San Antonio — November 2026.

One honest note: this is a drop-off for givers, not a pickup line — there is no turkey to collect at Leon Springs today. The turkeys collected become the holiday distributions on our holiday meals page. Can't make today? The final collection day is Sunday, November 22, 10:00 AM–2:00 PM at all area H-E-B Plus! stores. And Thanksgiving is Thursday, November 26 — 12 days from today — free Thanksgiving meals and turkey giveaways are in our free Thanksgiving dinner guide and our free turkey giveaways guide.
