who are in need of food over the weekend.<\/p>\n<p>Members of the community are invited to donate non-perishable food items for the program at Provident, Inc.\u2019s Ferguson Counseling Office located at 409 South Florissant Road in Ferguson, Mo.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cSchool districts are the largest provider of food to needy children,\u201d said Debbie Bodden, Food for Thought chairperson and social worker for the Ferguson-Florissant School District. \u201cOur focus this year is on children who are homeless because they typically have the greatest need.\u00a0 In time, we hope the program will expand to provide food to all students who are without food over the weekends.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Serving the St. Louis area since 1860, Provident, a proud member of the United Way, is a nonprofit
