Multi-Food Warehouse – USDA FNS is working with Paris Brothers to address the current nationwide delivery delay issues, which are mostly impacting FDPIR (Indian Reservations) and States that order directly from this warehouse. At this time, these delivery delays do not impact Texas as there are no multi-food deliveries currently scheduled or anticipated for the remainder of CY2024
Reminder: Per USDA FNS guidance, food banks must be ready to receive all multi-food deliveries on the dedicated “Req. Delivery Date” associated with each “Sales Order #”, should any deliveries occur. Note: TDA does notify food banks in advance of approved multi-food order.
