Fact Friday: Did you know? Over the last school year 300 students were able to take home fresh produce from our Full Circle Gardens? We are striving to be able to allow kids to cook with fresh produce in the Emeril Lagasse Full Circle Kitchen, as well as provide more fresh produce from our gardens.

After a fun (and HOT day!) at Eggs on the Beach last month, we are so grateful for the generous check that was presented to Food For Thought for $16,250!! Thank you to Bay Breeze Patio for planning this event! Fundraisers like these are what helps to keep our program being able to provide food week after week to our kids.  Thank you!!

A few weeks ago, we hosted our first annual "Fall Frolic" fundraiser.  It was a fun evening of food and drink pairings provided by Marrow Private Chefs, and Better Together Beverages, with music played by Kyle Lamonica. It was a wonderful evening to kick off fall enjoying delicious food and drinks, all while raising money to feed the kids.  Thank you to all who attended and for our wonderful vendors who made the evening so special!

In July, The Rosemary Beach Foundation hosted their annual Brews, Bites and Bingo Fundraiser at the Santa Rosa Beach Pantry, and we are so grateful for the check presented to Food For Thought for $12,500!! This is beyond generous and will help to feed many many kids this fall!
