Who We Serve

• People living with HIV, cancer, diabetes, heart disease, and other serious medical conditions in Sonoma County.
• Pregnant mothers experiencing food insecurity with their families.
• Those leaving an in-patient hospitalization.
• Patients and clients of community partners who work with unhoused people living with HIV.

How You Can Get Involved

Food For Thought was built by volunteers, and are essential to our mission of providing healthy, medically tailored food to Sonoma County. Volunteer opportunities include:

• Gathering donations at a food drive
• Filling orders in our food bank
• Grocery deliveries to clients
• Growing fresh produce in our garden
• Helping at special events, such as Dining Out For Life

Volunteers are vital to helping us create a Sonoma County where everyone with medical need has access to nutritious food to heal and thrive.
