Donate Your Dime at Whole Foods!
As of July 1st, the Whole Foods Market in Destin, FL, will be donating every dime that is received when customers use a reusable shopping bag for their groceries and select to donate the dime.
The "Donate Your Dime" program will benefit Food For Thought Outreach for three months, July 1st through September 30th, 2019. When shoppers bring a reusable bag instead of using a new shopping bag from Whole Foods, they receive $0.10 off for every bag, and in return, this ten cents can be selected to be donated to Food For Thought Outreach during the above time period.
We are thankful to be able to receive these added donations over the next three months from Whole Foods! Remember to bring your own bag(s) the next time you go shopping at Whole Foods; better for the environment and it will be a help to Food For Thought!

#YouCanHelp Food Drive
Thanks to the community for your involvement and our local preschools who helped kick off our Destin Food Drive for the month of February. We are excited to report that our food drive collected enough food items and donations to feed over 1,150 kids in March!! Our efforts to increase awareness in Okaloosa county continue to thrive. We need the continued mindfulness and support as we add three Okaloosa County schools and approximately 500 hungry students for the 2017-18 school year. The Food For Thought Pantries accept donations at both locations Tuesdays, Wednesdays, and Thursdays from 9am-4pm. Thank you again to our local Preschools, Blaze 103.1 and KC's Sandbar, Whole Foods, and to the community in its entirety for recognizing this need. Click HERE for donation information.
