The holidays are a magical time for most. Unfortunately, many local families face a huge economic burden during the holidays, and prolonged stress related to food insecurity can get in the way of truly enjoying the holiday season with their loved ones.

On average, students will miss 10 meals over Thanksgiving Break and 20 meals over Christmas break.

Donate $40 today to feed one local family in need this holiday season.

• For Thanksgiving and Christmas, Food For Thought will feed 700 families for each holiday meal curbside service
• Each holiday meal service will provide food for the holiday meal + food for the holiday break + fresh produce
• Text-to-give by texting FFTHOLIDAY to 44321 or donate via our website HERE

Save the Date!! Giving Tuesday is on December 1st this year (just three weeks away!)

Help us with our annual campaign to feed 200 families over the holidays by sponsoring a family for $40 this holiday season.

We will again be running a text-to-give campaign to raise $8,000 to assist in costs to provide meals for Christmas & food for families over the holiday break. Mark your calendars today and keep an eye out for more information!!

With the weather cooling down, and the holidays quickly approaching, we at Food For Thought are gearing up for our holiday food services.

If you or your business is looking to donate food this holiday season, these are the food items that we are collecting to place in our holiday meals for Thanksgiving and Christmas. You can drop off these food items at our Destin or Santa Rosa Beach Pantry. Please contact us with any questions. Thank you! support@fftfl.org

Thank you to, Beachside Ministries of Fort Walton Beach, who donated $3,000 this month to Food For Thought as part of their "Be Rich" Campaign.  We are extremely grateful for your generosity, especially during the holiday season when the need is great!
