SAN ANTONIO – The San Antonio Food Bank is joining the movement of honoring the life of George Floyd by declaring June 9, the day set for his burial, a Day of Service.

“I am calling our community to join me in a day of service on Tuesday, June 9, to honor the life of George Floyd. Knowing that so many want to do a physical act of love that honors Mr. Floyd’s life, I am inviting our community to join me in serving those in need in our community on the day his family will hold their private funeral service,” said President & CEO of the San Antonio Food Bank, Eric Cooper.
