Planned and initiated Food Source DFW. FSDFW streamlines the supply chain management logistics of food donation, making it simpler for the donor to give. We are engaged in the planning, management, sourcing, procurement, transport, and logistical activities of the donation process. Businesses want to donate food and other items, but often end up dumping it because of the hassles of giving it away. Food pantries often say “no” to food because they lack both time and resources to seek new sources and/or the means to pick it up. Food Source DFW simply locates food and other supplies, facilitates transportation, and distributes food and donated items to our network of partner agencies and pantries. We say “Yes” to donated goods, while saving time, reducing waste, and ultimately getting more food to families in need.

In 2014 we increased our volume by over 1000%, moving over 450,000 pounds of food, estimated at over $500,000. In addition, we expanded our product base moving over $425,000 in personal care, body and bath items. The combination of food and personal care items provides a much needed combination to not only feed the hungry, but empower their self-esteem.
