From Toledo-Food for Thought, a local nonprofit assisting area hungry and homeless, has moved its headquarters from Oregon to Downtown Toledo. The group offers several mobile food pantries throughout Northwest Ohio and one in Michigan, and also hosts a popular Downtown Saturday morning picnic where attendees receive free sack lunches.
“When Food for Thought started we had a much smaller network of food pantries,” said Chief Thought Officer Sam Melden. “Over the past three years we’ve added almost 20 sites. In a lot of those, they were more West Toledo and South Toledo, so we thought a more central location would be good.”
New Harvest Church in Oregon had served as Food for Thought’s headquarters since its inception in 2007, but on June 1 the group moved to Downtown’s Trinity Episcopal Church on Adams Street. New Harvest Church was an integral part of the group since the beginning, as several of its members founded the organization.
