About us
Food For Thought is a nonprofit organization that provides lifesaving nutrition support to low-income people living with COVID-19, HIV and other serious illnesses across Sonoma County. For more than 30 years, we have engaged in service to our community to provide healthy food to our neighbors in need. A group of friends in Guerneville founded FFT in 1988 amidst the AIDS epidemic to provide groceries to our seriously ill neighbors. Over time, we have shifted our focus from providing end-of-life care to providing comprehensive nutrition services, and we have expanded our eligibility to those affected by a wide range of serious medical conditions. Food for Thought provides weekly groceries including fresh produce, whole grains, and healthy protein; vitamins and supplements and nutrition education. We deliver Sonoma county-wide to clients who are homebound or homeless.

✨ Allow us to shine a spotlight on our fabulous sponsor Traditional Medicinals! ✨ Not only do they give back through their sponsorship of our medically tailored nutrition programs, but they aren't afraid to get their hands dirty for a good cause! 🙌💪 We are honored they chose to donate time in our organic garden during their Volunteer Day 2024. Their large group helped plant new vegetables and pick plums that will go into our food bank. 🌱 It's a lovely time to spend in the garden, with cool mornings and time spent harvesting for the food bank. We invite you, your family, or your corporate group to join us by signing up for a garden shift! https://bit.ly/fft-garden #fftfoodbank #gardening #VolunteerOpportunity #volunteering #corporategiving #summerharvest #SilverSpoonSponsor

🌲 Thank you to our sponsor Redwood Credit Union! 🌲 Redwood Credit Union has been a longtime supporter of FFT and we are proud to be sponsored by an organization that is as passionate about making a difference in our community as we are! Did you know that credit unions are not-for-profit? 🤔 Offering the same services as for-profit financial institutions (like banks), credit unions are actually cooperatives. By nature of the cooperative model, the funds you deposit at Redwood Credit Union stay in your community to help family, friends, and neighbors. 🤝 We are honored to be one of the nonprofits Redwood Credit Union has chosen to invest in. Thank you for your partnership! 🙏 #fftfoodbank #FoodForThought #SilverSpoonSponsor #ThankYou #CommunitySupport #RedwoodCreditUnion #CharitableGiving #Partnership

A heartfelt thank you to Encore Events Rentals ❤️ for their in-kind contributions that played a crucial role in the success of our 6th annual gala, Our Long Table. As Food For Thought marks 35 years of dedicated service to Sonoma County, we are proud to partner with businesses that share our commitment to the community. The beautifully arranged tables you see below, set against the picturesque backdrop of Sebastopol's vineyards, were made possible by Encore Events Rentals’ generous donation of event supplies. Their support helped create an unforgettable experience for our guests as we gathered to raise essential funds for our programs. Our journey, which began with just five volunteers around a kitchen table, has grown into a movement that continues to thrive thanks to supporters like Encore Events Rentals. 🙏 Thank you to Encore Events Rentals for standing with us. Your partnership is essential to our continued success. Together, we are making a difference, one meal at a time.
