Providing food and hope for a better tomorrow, stronger community
We know life can be tough. We can help.
One in five people within our community are food insecure and don’t know where their next meal will come from – or the one after that. Many have limited access to fresh foods such as fruits, vegetables and dairy and without reliable transportation, options are limited or unavailable. In our community where comfortable lifestyles appear to be the norm, there are individuals and families who could use a little help. Their stories are diverse, but the need is real. Won’t you help?
Stay in control of Your Tax Dollars
Donate to the Foothills Food Bank & Resource Center and receive a dollar-for-dollar credit through your Arizona tax return, up to $938 for those married, filing jointly and $470 for single filers. Every dollar helps, and keeps you in control of how your tax dollars are spent.

Spring Cleaning for a Cause: Purge Your Pantry and Help Stock Food Bank Shelves Before Summer
As temperatures rise, many Phoenix-area residents head to cooler destinations for extended vacations or return to their second homes. Before you go, we invite you to Purge Your Pantry by donating non-perishable food, hygiene products, and cleaning supplies to help local families
in need.
Summer is one of the slowest seasons for food donations, but hunger doesn’t take a vacation. Many children who rely on school meals during the year will need extra support, and families will turn to the food bank for help. This year, our goal is to collect 50,000 pounds of food and essentials in 50 days to keep our shelves stocked through the hottest months. In 2024, the community helped raise more than 48,000 pounds.
Even if you’re staying in town, now is the perfect time to spring clean your pantry and donate extra food or items nearing expiration before shifting to lighter summer meals and changes in schedule.
How to Help:
- Donate unopened, unexpired pantry staples, hygiene products, and cleaning supplies.
- Drop off donations at Foothills Food Bank Warehouse, 6038 E. Hidden Valley Drive,
Cave Creek. - Monday-Friday: 8 AM – 2 PM
- Saturday: 8 AM – 10 AM
- Host a food drive in your neighborhood, workplace, worship center, or community group.
“For many residents who leave for the summer, this is a great way to make sure their extra food helps local families,” said Lauren Cobb, Program Manager of Foothills Food Bank. “Even those staying in town can participate by cleaning out their cupboards and donating what they no longer need or like.”
Get involved today! For more details or to schedule a pick-up for large donations, visit FoothillsFoodBank.com or call 480/488-1145.
What our clients have to say…
Very kind staff and they definitely hook it up. We went in right at closing time because an accident threw us in a little later than expected and they were very polite about us being so late. I don’t know the times and stuff but make sure you have ID and proof of address available. They are pretty strict about that. Their setup is actually very organized too!
God bless all the volunteers and staff that work so hard for all of us out there in times of need!
All staff are respectful, organized and delightful with everything!
Thank you!!!
Absolutely wonderful helpful people who do everything in their power to help you in times of need.
Amazing staff and system, donors are gracious with what they give, when in need, these folks are incredible!
Very nice people who treat everyone there with nothing but friendliness and respect and certainly better quality that you can actually eat and feel good about as opposed to other food banks.
