About

Our Mission

The mission of the Foothills Caring Corps is to help seniors and other adults with disabling conditions who reside in the Northeast Valley - Foothills Community to remain living independently in their own homes for as long as possible. We do this through a force of volunteers and staff who provide in-home services, transportation services, community services and support. These services provide access to activities that promote physical, mental and emotional health.

We are a non-profit located in Carefree, Arizona. Since 2000, we have served the communities of Carefree, Cave Creek, North Scottsdale, and North Phoenix.

We call those we help our “Neighbors”.

On a daily basis, our professional staff and over 554 volunteers provide, at no cost to our Neighbors, services that add to their enjoyment of life and sense of self worth.

We are a true caring corps of happy and committed people.

In the recent 12 months, our volunteers have provided 35,782 hours of service. Services provided include delivering over 10,400 meals and providing 5,955 van trips and 4,438 medial transportation trips.

Foothills Caring Corps has been a big help to me in the past. My 90 year old mother was living with me and I was working a busy full time job.

Foothills Caring Corps volunteers would pick up my mother (who was unable to drive) once a week and take her grocery shopping and then go out for lunch. This enabled my mother to get out of the house and have some companionship during the day. She thoroughly enjoyed this time with the volunteers.

Also if she had a medical appointment in the middle of the day and I was unable to get off of work, a volunteer would pick her up and take her to and from the medical appointment. This was a big help to me and my mother. We both appreciated the volunteers and the help offered by Foothills Caring Corps.
