Fueling possibility.

Providing healthy nutrition for stronger minds.

Every day, in our own community, hunger is an obstacle for many children – limiting their ability to reach their full potential to think, learn and develop.

Why the need?

The federal school breakfast and lunch programs feed children at school during the week, these same children are often missing regular meals on weekends. Recognizing that students were not getting enough to eat over the weekend, in 2011 the Fondy Food Pantry Board of Directors established Food for Thought (FFT) in conjunction with the Fond du Lac School District. This key focus program of the pantry is dedicated to reducing hunger and academic risk facing students in the Fond du Lac area by providing healthy meals to build strong minds.  In recent years, FFT has expanded to include nearly 950 students in public schools throughout Fond du Lac county.

How does it work?

Food for Thought provides nutritious and child-friently nonperishable foods for elementary and middle school youth on weekends and holidays during the school year. Student recipients for FFT are determined by guidance counselors and teaching staff at each school.

Food for Thought distributes nearly 950 bags of items per week. As the need within our county continues to grow, FFP has committed to expand the program to help provide weekend nourishment for these students.
