Why I Help
It is important to reflect on "why I help" in whatever it is we are doing. So many reasons why we all help those in our community. We are thankful for all of those that help us at Food For Thought and are making an impact against childhood hunger. Below is a photo from our "Why I Help" wall, which we love to read why volunteers and donors are helping. It is inspiring to see!

Thank you, Katelyn Winthurst!
We love it and feel so honored when community members take it upon themselves to create their own fundraisers for Food for Thought! Katelyn Winthurst, a loan officer, is personally donating a percentage of her personal proceeds to Food For Thought, for all loans that she will close between August and October.
Thank you, Katelyn! We are very grateful for your generosity and giving back to your community!
