Foothills Caring Corps

What Foothills Caring Corps does

Foothills Caring Corps is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization headquartered in Carefree, Arizona, that delivers six integrated community support services — Mobile Meals, Non-Emergency Medical Transportation, Recreational Van Program, Friendly Visits, Grocery Shopping Assistance, and Tech Handyman Services — to older adults and persons with disabling conditions residing in Carefree, Cave Creek, North Phoenix, and North Scottsdale. In Fiscal Year 2025-26 the organization delivered 37,020 service touchpoints, including 24,640 mobile meals and 5,731 non-emergency medical trips, supported by 342 active volunteers and a small paid staff of 1-10 employees.

The organization operates as a single integrated service program rather than a modular platform, with services delivered directly through in-home visits, volunteer coordination, and physical transportation programs. Its technology footprint is limited to website-based service coordination and volunteer management; there is no proprietary software, AI capability, or app infrastructure. The organization holds a Candid Silver Transparency Badge (2024) and is registered as an Arizona Qualifying Charitable Organization (code 20612).

Revenue is generated entirely through donations, corporate sponsorships (with Golf Classic tiers ranging from $1,500 to $15,000), Arizona state tax credit contributions, and fundraising events. Services are provided free of charge to qualifying community members. The organization is currently transitioning to a new property on Cave Creek Road, consistent with a 'Next Chapter of Caring' positioning announced in 2026. Governance is provided by a volunteer Board of Directors, with Cynthia Driskell transitioning from Board President.
