About NEWFDA

NEWFDA (The Northeast Wholesale Food Distributors Association) is the oldest food industry trade association in the country. Established in 1875, we remain committed to serving our members with the same dedication, loyalty and opportunities that our original founders envisioned.

NEWFDA’s mission is to provide value to our member companies through our Scholarship Program, education and networking.  We address the issues and challenges faced by distributors, wholesalers, manufacturers and brokers, and provide a common ground for effective solutions.

In order to provide our members and their families the opportunity to participate in our renowned Scholarship Program, we host a variety of live and online events including Auctions, a Summer Golf Outing and a Fall Convention annually.

NEWFDA is a legacy organization offering unique programs which serve to strengthen relationships among our member companies, resulting in a stronger industry.
