Are you savvy/experienced in the kitchen?! We are looking for volunteers to lead and assist cooking classes for students in the Emeril Lagasse Full Circle Kitchen.  Not need to be a professional chef! Menus are simple and easy to follow and lead; we just need people who like to cook and want to teach and lead kids in the kitchen!

For more information, please email:

See below photos from recent classes - it's a fun time had by all!

As of July 1st, the Whole Foods Market in Destin, FL, will be donating every dime that is received when customers use a reusable shopping bag for their groceries and select to donate the dime. 

The "Donate Your Dime" program will benefit Food For Thought Outreach for three months, July 1st through September 30th, 2019.  When shoppers bring a reusable bag instead of using a new shopping bag from Whole Foods, they receive $0.10 off for every bag, and in return, this ten cents can be selected to be donated to Food For Thought Outreach during the above time period.

We are thankful to be able to receive these added donations over the next three months from Whole Foods! Remember to bring your own bag(s) the next time you go shopping at Whole Foods; better for the environment and it will be a help to Food For Thought!

We are very grateful for Hunter Davis and his personal chef business, The Dish and the Spoon!

Over the last six months, Hunter has raised enough money to feed 53 families in the summer program! With The Dish & The Spoon, for every meal that he prepares, he matches the amount to donate a weeks worth of food to Food For Thought for the summer program.  

Hunter has been using his business to donate to Food For Thought for over a year now.  After his wife began to volunteer in the back pack program, he wanted to also be involved, so he began the "1 For 1" program at The Dish and The Spoon; one meal purchased for one week of summer meals. In addition to donating to Food For Thought, Hunter has also been involved with leading and helping in the Full Circle Kitchen cooking classes.

The Dish and Spoon has been in business since 2012 and specializes in catering in-home meals to families that are vacationing along 30A.  

We are honored and have gratitude that Food For Thought Outreach is chosen to be one of sixteeen Isagenix Legacy Foundation grant recipients for the 2019 year.

The grant that Isagenix has gifted to Food For Thought Outreach is assisting us to be able to fund the renovations for our third pantry in DeFuniak Springs, and backpack program, to help fight hunger in our community. We have enjoyed working with Isagenix and look forward to the opportunities this grant may allow Food For Thought Outreach to grown in the coming months.
