YOU CAN HELP
Become a Holiday Partner
Help Food For Thought continue to bridge the meal gap for local food-insecure children who rely on our programs for critical access to food when out of school with your partnership. Commit to 1 year or multiple years to help sustain, serve, & grow
for the future of the children we serve. We offer structured donations made annually, quarterly, or monthly to provide flexibility for our partners.
Two Partnership Opportunities are available during the holidays: a Thanksgiving Partner and a Christmas Partner. By becoming a partner, your donation will help support the food purchased for the holiday services. Each partnership is $10,000. We would be honored to acknowledge your support publicly but will also respect your decision if you wish to make a private donation.
Donate Food
We host two food drives during the holiday season:
Christmas Food Drive: Dec 2-18
