Our programs

What are the organization's current programs, how do they measure success, and who do the programs serve?

USAID/IFRP

Breedlove Foods has been a provider of food products to the United States government program USAID/IFRP since 2000.  In this program, organizations with feeding initiatives apply with the government to become a USAID grant recipient.  Upon approval the grant monies are then released to Breedlove based upon the amount set forth in the approval.  Breedlove is then able to produce and ship the food to the appropriate location in partnership with the organization's needs.  In this way, Breedlove and numerous agencies and NGO's have been able to work together over the years to provide food to the hungry and malnourished around the world.  We are appreciative of USAID and their continued trust in our product and services provided in the fight against world hunger.

We work with a wide range of NGO's (Non-Governmental Organizations) throughout the world in our effort to provide our food products to those who need it the most.  Those NGO's use our food in a variety of feeding programs ranging from direct and take-home feedings, to institutional incentive-based development programs.  Organizations using our food have found it particularly useful in meeting the specific needs in school feeding programs, maternal and child health programs, refugee camps, and famine relief.

Breedlove has provided for post-emergency feedings for victims of disaster including those of the 2005 tsunami, Hurricane Katrina, Hurricane Rita, the 2010 Haiti Earthquake, the 2010 Pakistan Flooding, and Hurricane Harvey.

Charting impact

Four powerful questions that require reflection about what really matters - results.

We seek to develop, produce, and ship innovative, low-cost, nutritional humanitarian food aid products to sustain life and restore health domestically and internationally.

Our team collaborates with strategic partners who will assist us in fulfilling our mission as well as being the ones to distribute our food to hungry communities around the world.

Once partnerships are established, we develop nutritious food with the help of our research and development team and quality assurance (QA) team to meet each client's needs. To maintain cost-efficiency, we purchase our ingredients already dehydrated and then formulate various recipes that incorporate vitamins and minerals, proteins, calories, and flavoring. From start to finish, our QA and production team ensures we are creating and packaging healthy, safe, and nutritious food to the world's most vulnerable.

We are a commercial-sized nonprofit food processor dedicated to humanitarian aid.

We are one of the first facilities in West Texas to have received a Preventive Controls Qualified Individual (PCQI) certification for 8 of our employees. Although we are not required to have a PCQI person on staff, we wanted to increase our health and safety standards by training multiple QA and Production staff members - ensuring guidelines are being met and exceeded throughout the entire process.

More specifically, our well-trained QA staff utilizes an in-house lab that enables them to conduct various health tests on our food products. This ensures that our food is safe, ready to consume, and of the highest quality.

In terms of production capabilities, we produce an average of 20-25 million servings of food per month.

As a team, we utilize our individual gifts and talents to combat food insecurity on a daily basis.

Since 1994, we have distributed more than 2 billion servings to communities both in the United States and abroad - covering more than 70 countries and counting.

We are constantly growing and evolving to meet our goals and the hunger needs of communities around the world.
