Hot Nutritious Meals

Since 1986, the San Antonio AIDS Foundation has been the only AIDS organization in the city providing free hot meals for anyone who is HIV-positive. In order to receive meals, one need not be a client of SAAF, but must have a meal card (see below). All menus are reviewed by a registered dietitian and include foods that help provide for the particular dietary needs of persons with HIV/AIDS.

Meal Cards (Obtaining a card is easy):

  • Please see your primary case manager (at any AIDS service agency) to get meal card eligibility paperwork to bring back to SAAF so that you can have a meal card.
  • You will be asked to show the card each time you come in for a meal.
  • You must see your medical case manager every six months to renew your card.
  • We ask that you check in with your case manager to review needs, confirm plans for a visit to your doctor for checkup and lab work, and to discuss progress so that you can best manage your HIV-positive status and live a healthy life.

Chef of the Month

Each month an area chef prepares a special culinary delight for HIV/AIDS clients.

How it works: The featured chef prepares one meal (either lunch or dinner) during a designated month.  The chef consults with SAAF’s dietary team to develop a menu.  The featured chef uses the food and supplies provided by SAAF or may bring in supplemental items to prepare that month’s special meal.

For more information on how to become a Chef of the Month, contact SAAF Vice President of Food Service Theresa Haywood-Castile at (210) 225-4715, ext. 114, or write to her at theresa@sanantonioaids.org
