July Food Access Update

This year we celebrate our 240th year of independence. As we celebrate our independence we should also celebrate the American tradition of volunteerism. Keep scrolling to learn more about volunteer opportunities and other ways to support the Foothills community. 
The Foothills Food Bank serves over 150  Foothills families each week, providing emergency groceries and nutrition education to help hold families over through the hard times. 

Volunteers make this all possible, and it is because of this strong community of friends and neighbors who are willing to lend a hand that we are able to do what we do. 

The Foothills Food Bank is seeking volunteers for many positions  Positions range from working distribution days to managing outreach. 
Our biggest need right now is for grocery assistance volunteers! The main task of this position is to help patrons to carry their food as they are "shopping" and to help them get their goods out to their vehicles. 

Ready to volunteer or just want to find out what volunteer positions are open? Fill out our application:
