Happening this month at Food for Thought
![]() | You’ve heard a lot from us about how food is medicine—that healthy food improves health and saves on health care expenses. But did you know that love is also medicine? This year, too many of our seriously ill Sonoma County neighbors are spending Valentine’s Day alone—and hungry. And because of COVID-19, demand for our services has more than doubled in the past year. People in our community need food, and they also need love. Support from our donors brings healing food+love to thousands of low-income Sonoma County residents living with COVID-19, HIV and other illnesses. To donate, click here. |

Celebrating A Shared VisionA student organization at a high school based in Southern California recently contacted FFT. They requested that we share their essay celebrating our mission. We appreciate their support and applaud their efforts to educate future generations. At Polytechnic School in Pasadena, California, our founders created the Food for Thought Club in 2019 to provide a space for high school students to discuss plant-based lifestyles and sustainable eating habits. Our club, coincidentally titled, shares many goals and values with FFT, as we hold discussions and assemblies to convey the benefits of eating a healthy diet. Through teaching and advocating about the plant-based and healthy lifestyle, we strive towards a better future for our planet and ourselves.![]() | ![]() Looking towards the future, we hope our work provides our school community with a strong foundation for sustainable and healthy eating habits. As we approach adulthood, we have a responsibility to our Earth, our bodies and each other to spread awareness and prevent further damage. Not only can eating local, farm-fresh foods positively impact our health but it can save the planet at the same time. Written by Elia Min and Nina Turner |
