ABOUT FOOD FOR LIFE

Incorporated in 1984, Food For All, Inc., dba Food For Life (FFL), a Pennsylvania non-profit organization has led by example.  Food For Life has provided oversight, leadership and dedicated its work to creating successful programs and services that will mutually benefit its target population and society by moving individuals to self-sufficiency and independent living. FFL has dedicated its work to providing solutions to homelessness and the over-crowding of correctional institutions. Offenders and their families continue to be one of our target populations.

Since 1983, Mr. David Dobson has been the Executive Director and President of Food For All, Inc. in Philadelphia. Under his leadership, Food For Life, which began as a food provider to the needy, has operated, at various times, shelters for homeless men and women, a Community Corrections Center, the Veterans Residence & Resource Center (a facility for homeless veterans housed on the renovated former Dropsie University campus) and transitional homes.

Food For Life sponsored the Land Conservancy's purchase of The Elkins Estate property by providing the downpayment required  by the Dominican Congregation, the Estate's former owners, as well as management expertise.
