October 20, 2023–San Antonio, Texas: San Antonio is cordially invited to Main Plaza to participate in Mesa de la Gente/Table of the People, food drive and interfaith celebration.
Food drive: Bring canned goods for the Mesa!
Bring canned goods and watch as we use these to create the shape of a heart. Let’s show how big we CAN make this table for the San Antonio Food Bank. Those who bring their cans will receive a free hot chocolate or popcorn, courtesy of Plaza Café.
San Antonio Food Bank requests the following items as their “twelve most wanted”: Peanut butter, cereal, tuna, beans, rice, pasta, chili and soups, canned lunch meats, pet food, pop top food items, full meals (canned or boxed), baby food and diapers.
