DFB Promise to the Community

Backed by a 70-year heritage, DFB has made a promise to our communities that we will serve as a catalyst for change by determining the most compelling needs that we, as a community, have in common and committing our resources to make the greatest possible human impact.

Our mission is to improve the quality of life for our customers, employees and the communities in which we work through our time, talent or treasure. DFB is committed to enriching the lives of its employees and supporting the communities where we do business through three primary initiatives:

  1. Community Giving
  2. Employee Volunteerism
  3. Workplace Wellness

Volunteerism in our local communities is coordinated through the DPT facility in San Antonio. DFB and its family of companies is a leader in workplace volunteerism through "Care Corps", a committed group of employees representing all ages and departments.

Requests for volunteers may also be sent to the addresses below.

DFB subsidiaries support over 50 programs a year in the communities we serve ranging from Juvenile Diabetes, Special Olympics, United Way, The National Kidney Foundation, and Susan G. Komen Race for the Cure, to public television and the arts.

In addition, numerous DFB employees are leaders in their communities serving on boards that promote health, youth programs, and the arts.
