Description:

Food 4 Thought ("F4T") provides both supplemental, weekend food packs and service opportunities to youth in Sioux City.

Their primary goal is to provide middle and high school students with supplemental weekend food packs during the school year to assist in battling hunger. Since hunger is a basic need that must be met prior to learning, F4T strives to  assist with this need, so students can be better equipped to learn and attain their goals. The food packs are filled with easy to prepare, nutritious, non-perishable items that will supplement a young person's weekend meals.

Service to others is a fundamental principal that F4T incorporates. The program has been created to promote teamwork. There are various roles to be filled that enable the weekly assembly and distribution of food packs. Both adult and student volunteers are integral to the success of the program. The desire is to include youth in the F4T program so that they may be involved in reaching out and serving others in the community.

How to Help:

Food 4 Thought relies on a broad cross-section of community members to achieve their mission. Volunteer opportunities are available for both adults and students. Businesses are frequently involved by contributing either funds or food. Both individuals and businesses are encouraged to contact them directly for more information or to become involved.
