Our hearts are so full after the Destin Charity Wine Auction Foundation check presentation September 4th! We are beyond grateful for the $200K that Food For Thought received from the auction...this will make a big impact on our fight against hunger for our students in Walton and Okaloosa county!

It is an honor to be among 16 deserving non-profits that all have a mission to meet needs of children throughout northwest FL, and receive a portion of the total $3MM raised at the auction this year.  

Over the years, the Destin Charity Wine Auction Foundation has impacted over 100,000 children in Northwest FL with the money raised at the auction.

Thank you thank you thank you!!!!
