SAN ANTONIO (November 13, 2026) — District 6 Councilmember Ric Galvan is proud to announce the success of his second-annual Thanksgiving Holiday Coupon initiative, providing 300 families and seniors across District 6 with support for a holiday meal.

Through this effort, $6,000 in H-E-B coupons were distributed to help residents purchase a turkey or ham for Thanksgiving. The initiative reflects a continued commitment to supporting families and seniors while helping ensure everyone has an opportunity to enjoy a holiday meal with loved ones.

With the support of Great Northwest Recycling, Councilmember Galvan’s office worked directly with Northside ISD and Edgewood ISD Title I public schools within District 6, Alicia Treviño Lopez Senior Center, Darner Senior Center, and Bethel Senior Center between November 1 and November 13 to reach hundreds of students, families, and seniors. By partnering with Title I campuses and senior centers, the initiative prioritized households where additional assistance can make a meaningful difference.

“Thanksgiving is a time to come together, share a meal, and appreciate the people and community around us,” said the Councilmember. “No family or senior should have to worry about putting a holiday meal on the table. Being able to extend a helping hand to 300 households is something we can all take pride in. I’m especially grateful to Great Northwest 

Recycling and our community partners for coming together to make this initiative possible.”

The District 6 team remains committed to working alongside our public schools, community partners, and local non-profit organizations to connect residents with meaningful resources and ensure those who most need support don’t go overlooked.
