Food For Thought’s current enrollment for the 2016-2017 school year is up 62% from this same time last year, reaching over 1,600 students in Walton and Okaloosa Counties. This growth is generated from the schools in Defuniak Springs and Fort Walton Beach that are new to our program this school year and by general school population increases. We are committed to providing the critical access to healthy, easy to prepare foods the children need and we know our community will support our efforts. Currently, we need additional volunteers who can drive to our schools to delivery and distribute our weekly services. Volunteers who can help drive even once a month, are welcome! We are so grateful to provide children in our community the reassurance of healthy food on the weekends and we absolutely could not do it without our volunteers. We love working with families, corporate groups, church groups, friend groups, and individuals!
