FOOD FOR THOUGHT OUTREACH
Santa Rosa Beach location will serve as a drop off site for supplies needed for children starting Monday Oct 15
Hurricane Michael Relief
Children are our passion and focus at Food for Thought and caring for our neighbors is a core value we share. The devastation in the aftermath of Hurricane Michael, particularly to our neighboring communities in Panama City and along the Forgotten Coast, has caused an urgent need for survival supplies.
The communities of Walton and Okaloosa Counties are rallying to help, and Food for Thought is specifically collecting supplies to aid in the care of children, including diapers, formula, bottles, and more. A full list is available below. We will work directly with emergency responders to ensure we get these supplies into the hands of those in need.
*Please no toys or stuffed animals. We are only collecting the essentials!
Drop-off Location:
132 Market St Santa Rosa Beach
Monday - Friday 8:30AM-4:30PM
Food for Thought Services:
We will reopen on Monday, October 15th and services and our backpack program will resume then.
We are expecting an increased demand for our services as displaced families enroll students in Walton & Okaloosa County Schools.
