food for thought

Brown Bags & Beyond
When is a sandwich not a sandwich? When it's door to a relationship.

We're a busy group with a big vision, so here's a list of what we do.

More importantly, though, is why we do what we do.

Food for Thought is not about solving hunger... it is about building relationships! It is about feeding the hungry physically and spiritually. The number one enemy the homeless fight is loneliness.

Food For Thought's purpose is to be a gateway between poverty and prosperity.

Food For Thought's mission is to serve those in various needs despite their position in order to develop relationships that aid in reconciliation and redemption.

Food For Thought's vision is that everyone realize their worth through serving others.

We are an organization of people who care about others and want to help those in need. We believe serving can change both those who are served and those who are serving. And we believe anyone can serve. In fact, we often see generous, selfless behavior from our friends on the street helping each other. It's getting to see that compassion, seeing people opening up and sharing their stories, seeing them realize they still matter in the world, and seeing them start to take steps to change their lives... all this has changed us, too, and we love it.
