Foothills Food Bank and Resource Center
Seniors in need are the fastest growing demographic, as they struggle to make ends meet on fixed incomes. The food they receive from the Foothills Food Bank allows them to use their limited funds to pay other expenses.

In 1988, the Foothills Food Bank was founded by individuals from area churches because there was a large Hispanic population that was in need. Today the majority of the population they serve is non-Hispanic, and the resource center serves over 500 families per month, with over 900,000 lbs of food provided annually.
Initially the area served was within Cave Creek School District boundaries. Over the years, the food bank boundaries have expanded to cover Black Canyon City to the north, I-17 to the west, Pinnacle Peak Road to the south, and Rio Verde to the east.
