Food For Thought

We recently had a celebration at Food For Thought’s antique store.. With bright new road signs and new building signs in place, the store, formerly known as Collective Spaces, officially became FFT Antiques & Collectibles. It was also the occasion to remember and commemorate the late J. Randall Thompson, whose estate gift of his store set us on this fund-raising adventure.

Friends and supporters of Food For Thought toured the store, gathered in the tents outside for some wonderful food prepared by John Shoaf (a former board president), and took a look at the estate art collection (a gift from the estate of Robert Lemieux) that was part of the special weekend sale.

Even Jac, the store dog who loves a good party, joined in, barking as Board President Katherine Kendall welcomed the collected guests. The newly installed plaque by the front entrance reminds all of us of J. Randall Thompson’s gift and of the ongoing power of such planning and generosity. We plan to bring the vision and warmth of the food bank to this venture and make FFT Antiques a successful ongoing funding source for the food bank. Our purpose will be our advantage.
