A Year In Review
Since 2007, Food for Thought has been feeding the Toledo area in a thoughtful and intentional manner. It takes donors, volunteers, farmers, and community partners to create this amazing place where everyone belongs and economic status does not isolate anyone from connecting to those around them. Thanks to the exceptional generosity of our supporters, Food for Thought continues to provide a community for those in need and serve everyone we encounter with dignity and respect. Thank You!
