PARTNER RESOURCES
As part of our comprehensive strategy to address food insecurity, we distribute food through a network of Community Distribution Partners (CDPs) embedded in communities across our broader service area. These CDPs help ensure consistent access to nutritious food in neighborhoods beyond the reach of our in-house Community Market.
By becoming a CDP, your organization can offer your communities an improved and consistent way for your neighbors to access nutritious food.

A Fresh Start: Celebrating Wheatland UMC’s Return to Serving South Dallas
We are thrilled to celebrate the ribbon-cutting of Wheatland UMC and recognize the incredible dedication of Cathie Green and her team in their mission to fight food insecurity in South Dallas. After a period of inactivity due to unfortunate losses within their organization, they have relaunched their food distribution efforts with remarkable commitment, now serving the community twice a week for the past several months.
