Fighting Hunger In San Antonio

The best way to get Gregg Popovich riled up, according to San Antonio Food Bank president and CEO Eric Cooper, is to give him some statistics.

One in four children in San Antonio faces food insecurity. They don’t know when their next meal will be served.

About 49 million Americans are food insecure, and Texas is the second most food insecure state in the nation.

On Monday, Popovich and the entire Spurs roster pitched in to fight hunger with the fifth annual Champions Against Hunger dinner at The Grill at Leon Springs.

“In San Antonio, we have a great need,” Popovich said.
