Our Mission

Food for Thought exists to create a community where the hunger for food, respect, and belonging is met for all people. More than 60,000 in Lucas County are food insecure. Of that number, almost 20,000 are children under the age of 17. Hunger knows no boundaries – it touches every U.S. community, including yours. The lack of enough nutritious food has profound effects on one’s health, increasing the risk of chronic diseases and impacting mental health. For children, it can significantly hinder their development. Through our programs and partnerships, we believe that everyone deserves to be seen, heard, and nourished – body and soul.
