A Note For Our Volunteers
Since our modified services and volunteer schedule have been in place over the last month+, we wanted to reach out and just let you know that we miss all of you and are looking forward to the time when we can return to fuller volunteer shifts!
In the meantime, we at Food For Thought are continuing to follow CDC guidelines and social distancing guidelines, which is why our volunteer shifts have been fewer and less people assigned. We also are trying to uphold the Stay Home order that is currently in place and protect our community and those we serve the best we can.
We hope that you are all doing well and stay safe and healthy. As soon as anything may change to the guidelines in place, we will send out additional information on how it may/may not affect our current modified services. -

Thank you, Whole Foods!
Thank you Whole Foods Market for making it easy for customers to donate food to Food For Thought! They pre-pack bags of food at various price points, that you, the customer, can purchase at the store. These bags of food are then delivered directly to Food For Thought to use in our weekly distribution to families while schools are closed. Next time you pick up food at Whole Foods, consider adding a bag of food that will help feed those in your community!

FFT Provides Curbside Pick-Up for Families
For the last two weeks and moving forward, Food For Thought will be providing safe, curbside food pick ups twice a month for families in Okaloosa and Walton counties. Volunteers and staff are following CDC guidelines in preparation and handling of the food to load into each family's car. We are grateful for our volunteers who continue to help serve the kids in need in our community, to help fight the meal gap while schools are closed.
