Before learning can begin, hunger must end

The Food for Thought program provides shelf-stable, kid-friendly food to chronically hungry students in Brown County schools over the weekends during the school year when no other food source may be available.
When a child is worried about where his or her next meal will be coming from, focusing in the classroom will be almost impossible. Food for Thought feeds children's bodies as well as their minds so they can be alert and active in the classroom, have a successful education and end the cycle of poverty in their lives!
 
How you can help
 
» Volunteer to pack sacks of food each week.
» Hold a food drive to supplement the food we give to the students.
» Collect money at work, church or home to help purchase food.
» Sponsor a child (or more). $4.50 provides one sack of food for one child for one weekend. $166 provides food for one child for the entire school year.
» Pray for the students, families, schools and staff participating in Food for Thought.
