Located in Forestville, California, Food For Thought is a non-profit grassroots organization dedicated to meeting the needs of all persons living with AIDS/symptomatic HIV disease in Sonoma County, regardless of financial, sexual, racial, religious, political, or any other attitudinal preferences and proclivities.

The organization was founded in 1988. Since that time, we have provided free weekly grocery bags of canned and boxed food, fresh produce, household incidentals, nutritional supplements, vitamins, and whatever other goodies are on hand, along with frozen meals for people severely affected by AIDS. Nutritional advice and occasional hugs are also available at no charge.

We currently provide food to about 550 people, including men, women, and dependent children of parents with HIV/AIDS.

We provide services in English and Spanish. While many clients enjoy their weekly visit to select their food at our welcoming facility, delivery service is available for clients who are homebound due to ill health or lack of transportation.

In our 20 years of service to the community, Food For Thought has developed a reputation as a wonderful place to work and volunteer time. Governed with a sense of stewardship and run with a small staff and admirably low administrative expenses, Food For Thought is also an ideal place to donate goods and services, as well as make financial contributions. You can donate to us in confidence knowing your funds will be put to good use in the community.
