Food For Thought’s latest endeavor in the fight against child hunger, the Emeril Lagasse Foundation Full Circle Kitchen, is now open and Food For Thought is excited to announce their newest fundraiser – the “Thoughtful Dinner Series” to be held in the newly renovated space.

The first dinner will be held October 19th at 7pm in the Full Circle Kitchen on 132 Market Street.
