Supporting the United Way has long been a key part of our philanthropy. Last year, our companywide fundraising campaign raised more than $456,000 for local United Way chapters. This year, Dot Foods is increasing our impact. We'll match our employee donations dollar for dollar, up from 50 cents for every dollar in previous years. Our campaign is underway until the end of October. Learn how employees can contribute and other charitable activities from August. https://bit.ly/3AUNlta #CaringForOurCommunities #DotFoods

About us
Founded in 1960, Dot Foods is North America’s largest food industry redistributor and one of the largest private, family-owned businesses in the U.S. Started by Robert and Dorothy Tracy in the small Midwestern town of Mt. Sterling, Illinois, Dot now delivers to all 50 states and over 50 countries. Dot employs more than 4,000 individuals and hasn't had a single layoff in all our history. Our corporate headquarters is still located in Mt. Sterling, but we also have 13 distribution centers in the U.S.; a corporate sales office in St. Louis, Missouri; two locations in Canada; and a joint venture in Mexico. Although our locations are spread out across North America, each practices our brand promise every day: Trusted Values. Innovative Solutions. Shared Growth.® This message is as true today as it was when the Tracys built the business. Robert and Dorothy instilled a set of values that serve as the cornerstone of our business model. And these values promise to provide innovative solutions for our business partners to ensure their problems, both big and small, are solved. In the end, we don’t succeed unless our employees are happy and our partners grow their businesses alongside ours. If you work for us or join Dot Foods as a partner, you can be sure that we will take care of our relationship and ensure it flourishes.

Our co-founder Robert (RT) Tracy, who would’ve celebrated his 100th birthday this month, left behind an amazing legacy. But he was really a simple man who followed six simple rules to support employees and make our company a success: 1. “If you’re not early, you’re late.” Respect other people’s time. 2. “When you leave a room, turn the lights off.” Don’t lose sight of the little things, and be cost conscious. 3. “Manage by walking around.” We want employees to feel supported by managers who meet them where they are. 4. “Keep your door open.” People need to know you’re accessible. 5. “Don’t ask anyone to do something you aren’t willing to do yourself.” Enough said. 6. “Treat others the way you want to be treated.” Everyone matters and deserves respect. His rules are still followed by employees to this day, listed on the walls of our headquarters in Mt. Sterling, Illinois, to remind us all to support and respect each other. #DotFoods #100thBirthday
