Food for Thought

A non-profit dedicated to feeding the Toledo region in a thoughtful way.

[Food for Thought @feedtoledo]

It started out very simply - by making just a few dozen PB&J lunches Friday nights.

Since our start, we've made over 150,000 lunches and serve 400 individuals and families per month!

THANK YOU to all the donors & volunteers who've helped us along the way!

Come to Pinewood Tabernacle from now until 12:00. Help us deliver food to grateful Toledo families. It’s an experience that might even make you some new friends :-)

Stock a Neighbor's Pantry for $10/Month

We load our trailer and deliver food to the neighborhoods of the people we serve. The first 200 people to sign up get a FFT magnet and a “Thank You” note to put on your refrigerator. (Note pictured above.)

Best stop of the day was picking up 304 cans of food donated by @TS4Arts to Food for Thought. These kids were wonderful! Every single one of them said thank you as they handed us their food donations. 💜

From Winston: “Volunteer with Food for Thought” my Mom said to my Dad. “It will be fun!” We have lots of volunteer opportunities available. 🥜 Everything from making pb & j 🥪 sandwiches, food pantries and working in the warehouse! 💜

Meet our new warehouse coordinator, Liz Dickens! Liz has been training with us for a week or two now and begins flying solo today. An animal lover (especially dogs), avid urban farmer, and generous spirit we are so excited to have her on our team!

Welp, we did it again. Transmission still out of the Food For Thought truck, so we loaded up 3 cars and delivered to the food pantry at Faith Community United Church.

Our pantry at Robinson Elementary will be canceled tonight due to Toledo Public School closing today.

It's Party Time 🎉

Living out this vision requires a great deal of time, energy, and money. To help us save time and earn money, we’ve partnered with some local “do-gooder” businesses (and long-time FFT friends) to begin a social enterprise effort.

A Renewed Vision to put hunger out of business in NW Ohio. 💜

- We have 100s of food pantries and co-ops led by 1000s of volunteers.
- We produce a surplus of food in the USA, and we discard 40% of it.
- 16% of NW Ohio is living in food insecurity.

In search of old VCR camera! 🎥

We’re working on a fun project here at Food For Thought, and requires an old-time flare. If anyone has an old video camcorder we could borrow, we’d be very grateful!
