DALLAS, TX - Dallas Love Field is hosting a week-long donation drive to support the airport’s over 300 federal workers affected by the ongoing government shutdown. The drive runs from November 3 through November 7 and seeks contributions such as non-perishable foods and personal hygiene products.
“Operations at Dallas Love Field have remained relatively normal throughout the shutdown because our federal workers have not wavered in their commitment to ensuring air travel remains safe and our airport operates efficiently,” said City of Dallas Aviation Director Patrick Carreno. “It is our turn to show them support and provide some much-needed relief to them and their families.”
Community members can drop off donations at several locations:
