Frito-Lay products are enjoyed by many, but our efforts lift up the community.
JOIN US AS WE PARTNER WITH UNITED WAY TO CREATE LASTING CHANGE.
Frito-Lay has a long history of helping others and supporting our local communities. And now, partnering with United Way, we can get results that last for generations. Our Southern Dallas Thrives initiative:
• Prepares kids for kindergarten
• Provides healthy meals to the communities in need
• Prepares high school students for college or a career
• Creates new career opportunities in the community
Join us as together, we strive to improve education, income and health in our community. When we Live United, we can put opportunity in the hands of all North Texans.

We are moved every day to give back to the more than 200 communities in which we live and work – including Frito-Lay’s home in the Dallas-area. Through Frito-Lay’s Southern Dallas Thrives initiative, we are working to strengthen all of DFW by helping our Southern Dallas neighbors thrive. We hope that we can be the catalyst for other companies in Dallas to join us to create a lasting impact.
