Barco and Wendy’s – A Shared Commitment to Improving the Lives of Children

Barco, Wendy’s uniform supplier, has not only been a great supplier to our system, but a great partner to our brand charity of choice, the Dave Thomas Foundation for Adoption® (DTFA). Barco started their Hats Off program several years ago and a portion of the proceeds from the sale of every Wendy’s crew hat is donated to the DTFA. Their founder, Michael Donner, is also on the DTFA’s Supplier Advisory Council. Everyone at Wendy’s is thankful to have Barco as a partner on our journey to find forever families for children in foster care.
