Sponsorship Opportunities
Impact Lives. Build Community.
Join Food For Thought (FFT) as we celebrate 35 years of fostering health and healing with food and compassion. FFT is a well-established nonprofit that provides comprehensive, life-sustaining nutrition services to Sonoma County residents living with serious medical conditions and at risk of malnutrition or nutrition insecurity—all free of charge. As a member of the California Food is Medicine Coalition, our approach improves health outcomes, promotes health equity, reduces hospitalizations, and strengthens our regional health care safety net. Last year, FFT provided over 4,000 clients with 325,000 medically tailored meals and comprehensive nutrition services.
What is Dining Out For Life?
Dining Out For Life® is an annual fundraising event involving the generous participation of volunteers, corporate sponsors, and restaurants. The concept is simple: restaurants donate a generous percent of their sales to Food For Thought, and in turn, Food For Thought works to fill participating restaurants with patrons.
In 2023, our generous sponsors, 73 participating restaurants, and 97 ambassadors helped to raise over $215,000 to feed our neighbors in need! By sponsoring Dining Out For Life, you can enhance your positive corporate image and increase your brand awareness through our robust promotional campaign.

For decades FFT has played an incredibly important role in our community, literally nourishing those in need at critical moments in their lives. As a volunteer over the last 10 years, I’ve seen first hand how this dynamic non-profit continues to adapt and grow to serve in a way that makes a profound difference to our neighbors facing serious medical challenges.
