Gregorio waited in a long line of cars wrapped around the Santikos Entertainment theater in Cibolo to pick up donated food from the food bank on Wednesday morning.
He said disability checks from the government are running thin, so being able to not worry about food temporarily is a huge relief.
“I’m disability and I can’t work and I can’t be standing more than 30 minutes,” Gregorio, 59, said. “[The food bank] helps us pay the other bills we need to pay. It helps a lot when you’re not working and lately, the way the news is showing, it says disability people only get a once-a-month check.”
