Food for Thought
of Contra Costa 

Coming Together to Nourish Our Community
Food for Thought 2024 Was a Success!
This winter break, our community came together to make a difference! With the incredible generosity of our donors and the tireless dedication of our volunteers, Food for Thought provided nutritious meals, bridging the gap when school meal programs were paused --  to 720 students and their families from 15 elementary schools in the West Contra Costa County School District.

A heartfelt thank you to the amazing WCCUSD School Community Outreach Worker -- your unwavering commitment made this possible. Here’s to the power of unity and care in our community! 
Our Mission
To sustain high nutrition and learning capacity among all children of Contra Costa County who otherwise go hungry during winter closing of school food programs, actively engaging community partnerships for this purpose.
