• $200K Received from Destin Charity Wine Auction!

    Our hearts are so full after the Destin Charity Wine Auction Foundation check presentation September 4th! We are beyond grateful for the $200K that Food For Thought received from the auction...this will make a big impact on our fight against hunger for our students in Walton and Okaloosa county!

    It is an honor to be among 16 deserving non-profits that all have a mission to meet needs of children throughout northwest FL, and receive a portion of the total $3MM raised at the auction this year.  

    Over the years, the Destin Charity Wine Auction Foundation has impacted over 100,000 children in Northwest FL with the money raised at the auction.

    Thank you thank you thank you!!!!

  • Thank you - DCWAF 2019!

    We are very thankful to be a beneficiary of the Destin Charity Wine Auction Foundation event for the 7th year in a row! The patron dinner and auction were yet again successful events and we are grateful to be able to use the funds raised to impact our four programs during the coming school year.  Thank you to DCWAF for planning such a wonderful event, as well as those who helped to plan our Patron Dinner.  

    A special thanks to the following for our Patron Wine dinner, which was a beautiful night held at the Williams Estate in Destin, hosted by Joel and Sylvia Williams.  The delicious food was prepared by Chef Cindy Hutson, with paired wines provided by DeLille Cellars (Jay Soloff and Catherine Hay), in addition to wines from Arkenstone (Jake Krausz).
