The Taste of Foothills Fundraiser provides key funding for mobility and transportation services for “neighbors” who need rides to medical and other day-to-day appointments and events. The Caring Corps, the only transportation program in the far North Valley, needs a smaller vehicle with a wheelchair lift to meet the growing need to transport seniors.

 For tickets, to volunteer, or for more information, call the Foothills Caring Corps at 480-488-1105 or visit foothillscaringcorps.com.
