Cooking classes in the Emeril Lagasse Foundation Full Circle Kitchen have been up and running! Having this kitchen space means so much and we love hosting classes to teach students how to cook and prepare meals on their own. Thank you to our volunteers who took the time to help cook Cajun Shrimp Pasta with our students last week! Looks like it turned out delicious!

We are pleased to announce our first annual Brunch with Santa! The event will take place on Saturday, December 7th, 2019 in the Food for Thought Outreach Full Circle Kitchen from 10:30a to 1:00p. 100% of the proceeds from this event will support our work fighting child hunger in Walton and Okaloosa Counties.

Calling All Volunteers! We need your help now that we are in full swing for the school year.  

Each Thursday and Friday we deliver and distribute the backpacks of food at the schools and we need volunteers to assist in this process.  Do you live near a school? Are you an early bird and can take the van of backpacks to the schools early?! If so, we could use your help!

We also are starting back up the kitchen classes in the Emeril Lagasse Foundation Full Circle Kitchen.  You do not need to be a chef to teach these students how to cook! We are just looking for enthusiastic volunteers who are able to follow a recipe and lead kids in cooking a recipe - we keep the meals pretty simple so that they may be able to replicate at home.  

If you are interested or available, please contact us via email here: volunteer@fftfl.org.

Thank you!
