"Hunger Action Month has never had a better champion than KSAT (and its KSAT Community partners) and the regional Chevy dealers," said Eric Cooper, president & CEO of the San Antonio Food Bank. "Your efforts helped secure 6,000 pounds of the most-wanted food items we need: peanut butter, tuna, rice, beans and more."
