It’s Our Journey

Since 1988, we’ve made it our mission to support our neighbors by providing food services and resources. Last year, we were able to give a hand up to thousands of our neighbors and collect and deliver almost two million pounds of food. But, that’s just the beginning. With your support, we are planning to open a facility that will allow us to get closer to our goal of serving our entire 200+ square mile area of need.
To support these plans for expansion, we are actively pursuing a six-and-a-half-million-dollar fundraising goal. Cementing our legacy and creating lasting change cannot happen without you — these ambitions for growth are fundamental to our belief that together, we can feed everyone. The good news is that with our current assets, donations and reserved, we are already half-way there!
Volunteers, donors, neighbors in need – their stories all tell the good we are doing together.
Together we can build a brighter future. With every dollar donated, we lay one more brick in our community’s foundation for a better, stronger tomorrow.
Our neighbors have already started to rally around us. With a goal of $6.5 million, we’re more than 75% there with the generous support of the community! By donating today, you can help us raise the funds we need to expand our impact to all neighbors in need!
We broke ground on a new facility on Cave Creek Road and 41st Street in October 2023. Check out this event video that provides a birds-eye view of our new location, and the celebration!

Party with a Purpose Supports Capital Campaign.
Foothills Food Bank volunteers Abe and Linda commemorated their 40th wedding anniversary with a creative party on the Desert Foothills Library terrace late last year. Friends generously donated over $20,000 in their honor, which was matched by the couple for a total of $40,000 contributed to the Food Bank’s capital campaign.
