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.
