Our Long Table

Save the Date for our 7th Annual Gala & Auction

June 8, 2025

Join Us

Over three decades ago, a group of five volunteers gathered around a kitchen table to feed their neighbors in need. Since then, our programs, services, number of volunteers, and number of clients have all grown exponentially. On Sunday, June 8, 2025, we continued the tradition of gathering around the table at our 7th annual gala, Our Long Table, to raise vital funds to support and nourish Food For Thought’s clients.

Our friends at Vine Hill House, located on the O’Connell Vineyards in Sebastopol will once again host Our Long Table. Overlooking hundreds of acres of world-class vineyards, guests will enjoy refreshing summer wines, craft beer, live music, an elegant multi-course dinner, and an exclusive auction.

Catering Sponsor:

We are thrilled to have Park Avenue Catering creating a delicious multi-course meal for this event! As a certified Green Business, Park Avenue Catering uses only antibiotic and hormone-free meats, chooses wild and sustainably farmed fish, and works to continually source and support local farmers in Sonoma County.
