Food For Thought Outreach

Food For Thought is a 501(c)(3) not-for-profit organization based in Santa Rosa Beach, FL that provides backpacks filled with healthy, easy to prepare food for students who are dependent on free or reduced school meals. Our goal is to support a child’s development and educational experience by bridging the gap between school meals during weekends and holiday breaks.

Food For Thought has been working to fight child hunger since 2010, and currently serves 23 schools in Walton and Okaloosa Counties, providing backpacks for 1,700 students each week. Not knowing where your next meal is coming from is something no one should have to worry about. Especially if you’re a kid. Food insecurity is an every moment feeling, and children are most vulnerable. Food for Thought Outreach has set out to fill the childhood hunger gap in a respectful and positive way.

Founder Tiffanie Shelton’s business acumen, work ethic, and unshakable determination are essential skills when it comes to her leadership role at the organization she founded. However it is her remarkable faith and innate need to help others, while providing the community with a place to serve, that gives her a true sense of fulfillment.
