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!

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! 💜
Shoutout to Turk Farms, a big donor to @feedtoledo, on all their help this holiday season. If YOU still need a turk, visit Dave at Turk Farms for last minute pickup!
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.

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.
@ActualCoffee + Boochy Mama
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!
