Menu Sign In HOMEPAGE/NEWSROOM/ALL DOT NEWS Dot Charitable Update: October 2021 October 29, 2021 | 7:00 AM Dot Foods employees donated food to Isaiah 58 Ministries and other St. Louis food pantries as part of Neighbor-to-Neighbor. After Hurricane Ida hit Louisiana, our employees wanted to help. We collected their donations to the American Red Cross’ relief efforts, matching each donation dollar for dollar. Thanks to the generosity of our workforce, we recently gave the Red Cross a check for nearly $27,000. The Red Cross counts on these donations to provide a range of services, including disaster health and mental health services to almost 24,000 people in the month since Ida made landfall. “The Red Cross is only able to impact people in such personal ways because of Dot’s support,” said Carissa Doyle, major gift officer for the Illinois region of the American Red Cross. “Thank you for investing in this life-saving work.” Our other recent charitable activities include: Dot Foods St. Louis was the next location to participate in the Neighbor-to-Neighbor (N2N) program, donating $30,000 worth of products to Oasis Food Pantry, Harvey Kornblum Jewish Pantry, Circle of Concern, Feed My People, Isaiah 58 Ministries, and Salvation Army Granite City. Dot Foods Indiana also finished off their N2N program, delivering $5,000 in food and items to the Crosspointe food pantry. The Wayne County Foundation offered its Challenge Match to give nonprofits an opportunity to receive a dollar-for-dollar match from the organization.
