In a show of solidarity, Dallas Love Field is stepping up to meet the needs of its over 300 federal workers affected by the extensive government shutdown.
The airport is hosting a week-long donation drive from November 3 to 7, collecting a variety of items, including 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,” City of Dallas Aviation Director Patrick Carreno said. “It is our turn to show them support and provide some much-needed relief to them and their families.”
The community is invited to participate in the donation drive by dropping off items at the following on-site and nearby locations:
- Dallas Love Field – Main Info Booth
8008 Herb Kelleher Way
Hours: 8 a.m. to 8 p.m.
(Garages A & B are free for the first 30 minutes. Garage C is free for the first 59 minutes) - Dallas Love Field – Cellphone Waiting Lot
Hawes Avenue and Herb Kelleher Way (NE Corner)
Hours: 3 p.m. to 8 p.m. - Maurice Rayshun Smith Administration Building
