ANOTHER SUCCESSFUL YEAR FOR FOOD 4 THOUGHT!
THANK YOU GENEROUS DONORS AND HARD-WORKING VOLUNTEERS FOR FEEDING 720 FAMILIES!

Thanks to all the hard-working and generous donors and volunteers, Food for Thought was able to provide food for 720 families from 15 elementary schools within WCCUSD, for use during the winter break when the food program is not available for students.
During 7 days in December (12/12 - 12/18/25) volunteers helped to:
1. unload nonperishable foods, produce, and breads, to prepare for packing
boxes;
2. pack 720 boxes of nonperishable foods and a game;
3. pack 720 boxes of produce;
4. pack 720 boxes filled with bread, cereal, and cookies;
5. fill 720 freezer bags with 9 lbs. of chicken breasts;
6. deliver food to school sites for distribution.

We were able to deliver a total of 2160 boxes of food and 6480 lbs. of chicken.

Generous donors contributed food and/or funding which allowed F4T to succeed this year!

An additional BIG THANK YOU to the WCCUSD School Community Outreach Workers.

This program would not exist without everyone’s help.
