More than 175,000 pounds of food is purchased and processed each month. CHRC also appreciates the generosity of local farmers and grocers. CHRC has long enjoyed a strong partnership with the San Antonio Food Bank. CHRC is the largest single private agency of the San Antonio Food Bank. In the last 12 months, we have distributed the equivalentof $1.8 million in food to struggling families in our community. As the economy has suffered, so have many in our community. This is a scenario that we are seeing with other organizations throughout the state and country.
