Volunteer Spotlight: Target Employees
Volunteer Spotlight: Destin Target
Thank you to this group of Target employees who come to the Food For Thought Destin Pantry monthly to volunteer. Not only do they pack backpacks, but they donate resources like plastic bags, and are available on short notice to help unload deliveries & support the Destin Pantry. There are even a few individuals from this group that volunteer on school deliveries! -

Fact Friday: Backpacks
Did you know that we delivered 112,000 backpacks last school year?! These backpacks were delivered to 3,300 students at 33 schools in Okaloosa and Walton County. This backpack of food costs $5 per child per week, but helps to keep them from being hungry over the weekend.
