Mobile Food Distributions and Holiday Turkeys Head to the County
Uvalde, TX · November 12, 2026
Watching the sun climb over the courthouse dome is easy today, especially with quiet morning traffic through the four plazas.
The Lead
The San Antonio Food Bank announced this week's mobile food distribution schedule across Uvalde County, confirming stops in both Uvalde and Sabinal. Designed to assist local households navigating rising grocery expenses ahead of the holidays, upcoming distributions will also provide turkeys for Thanksgiving dinners to registered families.
The first regional mobile pantry arrives this Saturday, November 14, operating from 10:00 to 11:00 AM at 224 North Benson Road in Uvalde. Organizers stress that advance registration online through FreshTrak is strongly recommended to guarantee receiving holiday supplies, while Sabinal residents will see a subsequent stop next week at Sabinal United Methodist Church. Volunteers from local civic organizations and churches will be on-site Saturday morning loading trunks as vehicles line up along Benson Road.

Spotlight & Story
- Mount Inge at Fort Inge Historical Park
- Rising abruptly above the Leona River flats south of town on County Road 375, the 140-foot volcanic plug known as Mount Inge. While many visitors explore the 1849 army outpost ruins below, few realize the hill itself is the basalt throat of an extinct volcano active roughly 75 million years ago, long before early frontier mail roads cut through the valley.
