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

The organization, which the New York Times has said is  perhaps “the hippest” food bank around (read the NYT story here), was founded in 1988. Since that time, we have provided free weekly grocery bags of canned and boxed food, fresh produce, household incidentals, nutritional and liquid protein  supplements, vitamins, and frozen meals for people affected by HIV/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.

In our 20 years of service to the community, Food For Thought has developed a reputation as a wonderful place to work and volunteer. 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.
