DALLAS – As a sign of unwavering support, Dallas Love Field is taking action to meet the needs of its over 300 federal workers affected by the partial government shutdown.

The airport is hosting a donation drive, beginning Friday, March 20, to stock a variety of items, including non-perishable foods, personal hygiene products, gas/grocery combo gift cards (Kroger, Walmart, etc.), and supplies for babies and pets.

“The federal workers at Dallas Love Field have shown up every day during one of the year’s busiest seasons, and it speaks volumes about their character and commitment,” City of Dallas Aviation Director Patrick Carreno said. “Hosting this drive and collaborating with the community is our chance to champion them and be the partner they need.”

The community is invited to participate in the donation drive by dropping off items at the following location:

Dallas Love Field (Parking area north of the Spirit of Flight Plaza off Contrail Lane – Follow digital signage on Herb Kelleher Way)

Hours: Monday to Friday 8 a.m. to 8 p.m., Saturdays and Sundays 10 a.m. to 2 p.m.

This is the sole drop-off location, and donations will be accepted until further notice. This drive supports federal workers at Dallas Love Field only.

Donors may also contact Dallas Love Field's TSA Coordination Center at 214-459-3900 to coordinate large or private monetary donations.
