Fueling Brainpower for Kids

Too many children on North Carolina’s Outer Banks were going hungry.

Hunger hampers healthy thinking and development.  That’s why Food for Thought was born. 

Today, this all-volunteer non-profit organization provides nutritious child-pleasing non-perishable breakfasts and lunches for elementary children who meet specific criteria in Dare County each weekend during the school year.

"I can't tell you how grateful I am for the food we received. It helped us so much."

"This program has been eagerly embraced by parents and students alike. Parents have told me that having a source for extra food to tide them over through the weekend is a great benefit that really helps the children."

There are lots of things you can do to help reduce this major health and academic risk facing our children - preventing hunger.
