From November 1-30, Blue Star Contemporary, The Briscoe Western Art Museum, The DoSeum, McNay Art Museum, San Antonio Museum of Art, The San Antonio Botanical Garden, and the Witte Museum will compete to raise the largest amount of food to support Texans in need across 29 counties.
Participating organizations will have red collection barrels onsite for donations. A QR code on the barrel also be scanned to contribute funds via the collective Virtual Fundraiser. As a thank you to those who donate in the month of November, participating museums are offering additional incentives as follows:
- Blue Star Contemporary: Free art kit with food donation, while supplies last.
- Briscoe Western Art Museum: 20% off general admission with food donation. One item per person.
- McNay Art Museum: 10% off admission for any food donation. One discount per person.
- San Antonio Museum of Art: $2 off admission with food donation. One discount per person.
- The Witte Museum: $2 off general admission with canned food donation.
As the initiative’s transportation partner, BCycle will offer one complimentary day pass for each donation at the San Antonio Museum of Art's drop-off location. Donors are invited to look for the QR code on the food barrel to redeem their day pass.
The San Antonio Food Bank’s most-wanted foods are peanut butter, cereal, tuna, pop top food items, beans, rice, macaroni and cheese, canned and boxed full meals, chili and soups, canned lunch meats, pet foods, baby food, and diapers.
