As we recently shared, Dot Foods Mt. Sterling donated over $83,000 to local organizations in the first quarter of 2022. But our philanthropy extends far beyond our headquarters.
Companywide, we’ve given over $3 million worth of product to food banks and pantries so far this year. Our employees also contributed nearly $29,000 to provide food to Ukrainian refugees, which Dot matched. In addition to these large initiatives, we also give back on a local level across our locations. Here are some recent examples:
-
Dot Foods Indiana donated $5,000 to support a clean-up project for Cambridge City. Their contribution helped fund new trash receptacles, benches, dog waste stations, and a fresh coat of paint for a building in town.
-
Our Mt. Sterling warehouse workers put our surplus 2x4s (or “load bars”) to good use. The material was donated to 2x4’s for Hope to build a home for a veteran. Several of our employees also helped with the home’s construction.
-
Dot Foods Arizona gave the Kingman Academy of Learning robotics team $2,500 to help them compete at the Robotics World Championships. After the big competition, the team stopped by our distribution center to give us a robot demonstration and tour the warehouse.

A few locations golfed for a cause. Dot Foods St. Louis pitched in $2,000 to sponsor a snack and beverage cart at a golf tournament fundraiser for Boys Hope Girls Hope of St. Louis. Dot Foods New York donated $1,000 to a United Way Golf Tournament. Dot Foods Idaho donated over $400 to a golf scramble supporting the Burley Fire Department.
