We also believe in making friends and having fun along the way. We have parties like Western Night, mixers and more social events.

Foothills Food Bank and Resource Center
THE VISION:
To assist the hungry and in need in the Foothills area.
In 1988, the food bank was founded because there was a large Hispanic population that was in need. Today the majority of the population that we are serving is non-Hispanic. In the beginning we would see, on average, 45 families a month. Today we see over 500 families per month.
Seniors in need are the fastest growing demographic that we serve. They struggle to make ends meet on fixed incomes. The food they receive from the Foothills Food Bank helps them to be able to pay other expenses.
