SAN ANTONIO – The San Antonio Food Bank is expecting to feed thousands of families through a form of food distribution adopted during the coronavirus pandemic.
It is holding its second mega drive-thru distribution Friday, allowing people in need to receive help without leaving the safety of their cars. Another giveaway was held this past Tuesday.
The food distributions, which are done through pre-registration only, allow people to get help without leaving the safety of their cars.

Drivers had begun lining up at Brooks City Base as early as 4:30 a.m. Friday for the event which wasn’t scheduled to begin until 10 a.m.
Long before it began, though, a food bank spokesman told KSAT 12 News that all of the slots for that day had been filled.
At least two more mega distributions are scheduled for next week, Tuesday and Thursday.

COVID-19, the respiratory disease caused by the new virus, stands for coronavirus disease 2019. The disease first appeared in late 2019 in Wuhan, China, but spread around the world in early 2020, causing the World Health Organization to declare a pandemic in March.
