As we are just about a month away from the official load in for Stock the Pantry, 2019, we wanted to revisit some of the years past so that you can see how we have been able to exceed our goal year after year, and need your help to do so again this year!

Last year, just over 227K of individual food items were collected, making our goal for 2019 300K food items! 

Our Stock the Pantry Party is Thursday, August 22nd, which is open to the public and not just the participating teams. To enter the party, please bring 5 food items to help reach towards the goal of 300K!

Getting to this goal will allow us to start the school year with our pantries stocked to serve the 3,300 kids in our backpack and snack programs. Thank you for your support!

Believe it or not, Summer is almost over, which means…Back to School! Help kick off the school year by sponsoring a school or student in Okaloosa or Walton County.  For $1,000 per semester, you can sponsor a school; for $270 a year, you can sponsor a student.

Sponsorship will include all in-school programs that FFT supports: Food & backpacks for the weekly Backpack Program, and food for the snack program for one school.

Get together with your friends, family, or coworkers and sign up for a sponsorship today!
