Fostering health and healing with food and compassion.

About us

Food For Thought is a nonprofit organization that provides lifesaving nutrition support to low-income people living with COVID-19, HIV and other serious illnesses across Sonoma County. For more than 30 years, we have engaged in service to our community to provide healthy food to our neighbors in need. A group of friends in Guerneville founded FFT in 1988 amidst the AIDS epidemic to provide groceries to our seriously ill neighbors. Over time, we have shifted our focus from providing end-of-life care to providing comprehensive nutrition services, and we have expanded our eligibility to those affected by a wide range of serious medical conditions. Food for Thought provides weekly groceries including fresh produce, whole grains, and healthy protein; vitamins and supplements and nutrition education. We deliver Sonoma county-wide to clients who are homebound or homeless.
