This summer, Food For Thought is providing curbside food pick ups for 500-600 families twice a month, at 5 locations in Okaloosa and Walton County.

At each food service, the families will receive 30-50 food items in order for families to have enough food to make meals at home.

You as a family or business can sponsor a month of food services at one of our five locations for $1,500. You can donate online or Text to Give!

TEXT: FFTSUMMER to 44321 (Family Business recognition will be given at the curbside pick up location).

Food For Thought is committed to help fight food insecurity this summer in our community. Tiffanie shares how we are continuing to serve the community through curbside pick ups and provide food for those that are faced with unemployment, even when the future is uncertain.

#GIVINGTUESDAYNOW | A GLOBAL DAY OF GIVING AND UNITY: MAY 5, 2020

On May 5, 2020 we come together as a global community...

To give. To help. To thank. To heal.

#GivingTuesdayNow is a global day of generosity and unity, a day to come

together and give back in response to the unprecedented need caused by

COVID-19, no matter who or where we are.

For this day of giving, Food For Thought will be kicking off our Sponsor a Family Program, in order to continue to feed families over the summer months.  Typically, we feed 600 families each summer, but in the current environment, we know that the need will be ongoing and growing, so we expect this number to grow. 

#HowWeHelp: By continuing to fight childhood hunger, and be a support of our community during this pandemic to ensure no one is left hungry while schools are closed

#YouCanHelp: By donating today. No amount is too small and all amounts add up to help fight the hunger gap.

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.  

Donations are still needed for the remaining two summer services! Each of the Food For Thought Pantries are open on Tuesdays from 8:30 - 4:30 to accept donations.

Please take this suggested shopping list the next time you go to the store and grab a few of these items to help feed kids for the rest of the summer. OR take a look in your own cupboards to see if there are any food items you are not using that could be donated for our summer meals. 

If you would like to make a monetary donation, you can do so here:
