Excel Beyond the Bell San Antonio began in 2012 as a professional network to develop and ensure standards for five-star youth development programs and to ensure young people in Bexar County have access to the developmental relationships they need to succeed.

Data provided to the network from local school districts helps all partners better understand young people in their organizations and it empowers youth development leaders to not just anecdotally know why developmental relationships are important — it provides them with evidence on which to base organizational decisions.

Daily Bread, as a Christ-centered organization, desires to help partners assist their communities in defeating poverty through God’s work. In addition to our weekly food distribution to our ministry partners, Daily Bread equips those partners with resources and training to address the root cause of poverty. Daily Bread focuses on addressing the defined root cause of poverty: broken relationships.

We do this by helping our partners help their communities mend their connections with God, other people, self, and creation.

A Food Fair is a San Antonio Food Bank (SAFB) program that provides large quantities of perishable and non-perishable food items (and more) to qualified individuals and families.

The Food Fairs program also connects individuals to other SAFB programs including Benefits Assistance and Nutrition, Health and Wellness Education.

A Food Fair typically lasts three hours and is held with the support of our partner agencies throughout 16 counties in Southwest Texas.

Agency staff qualifies individuals based on their income (verbal declaration) by using a voucher provided by the SAFB and Federal Income Guidelines. The agencies facilitate the distribution of the products to individuals and families.

For questions regarding the Food Fair program, please contact the Food Fair Department.

The Mobile Pantry program is an opportunity for our partner agencies to bring a bigger yield of perishable and non-perishable food directly to clients.

Partner agencies dedicate funding to bring our Mobile Pantry trucks to their facility to distribute food.

On the day of the event, the Mobile Pantry comes filled with a variety of produce and frozen and refrigerated items to provide supplemental food assistance to qualified families and individuals. Each Mobile Pantry vehicle can comfortably provide 150 families with up to 50 pounds of food.
