Becoming a Client
Food For Thought services are available free of charge to anyone diagnosed with symptomatic or disabling HIV or AIDS who is a resident of Sonoma County. The intake process is simple: just come to the food bank, fill out an application, and show us a valid Sonoma County ID and letter of diagnosis from your doctor. We’ll spend a few minutes telling you about our services and procedures, and you can go home with groceries the same day!
If you are not able to travel to our facility in Forestville, call Rachel Gardner, our Client Services Coordinator, at 707-877-1647, and we will make other arrangements for you.
All clients are welcome to receive weekly groceries, vitamins and dietary supplements, and nutritional counseling, and to participate in our nutrition education and garden programs. Clients who are homebound due to illness or lack of transportation can have groceries delivered to their door. Clients who are unable to prepare food for themselves may receive frozen meals by applying through their case manager or doctor.
