More food for children and students—for weekends and beyond.
Through an expanded partnership with River Bend Food Bank, FFT is transitioning from individual weekend meal bags to Food for Thoughts Pantries in local schools. The new model builds on more than a decade of trusted service while increasing the amount and variety of food available to students.

Pantries are located in schools, giving students access through familiar, trusted communities.
Larger pantry staples
Cereal, peanut butter, pasta, canned goods, and other nourishing foods are offered in practical sizes for children and students to take home.
Every dollar goes further
