Foothills Caring Corp, which is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization based in Carefree, is announcing a $35,000 grant from the Nina Mason Pulliam Charitable Trust.
The financial contribution bolsters the organization’s mobile meals program, enabling the delivery of over 3,000 additional meals to local homebound seniors and adults with disabilities, according to a press release.
“This investment from the Nina Mason Pulliam Charitable Trust is truly impactful,”said Brent Downs, executive director of Foothills Caring Corps. “It ensures that we can continue feeding those who are unable to purchase, prepare, or access meals regularly due to mobility issues, vision limitations, or other disabling conditions.”
The volunteer-based Foothills Caring Corps is dedicated to enhancing the quality of life for elderly residents and adults with disabilities in the northeast Valley.
“For more than 24 years, Foothills Caring Corps has helped older adults and persons with disabilities live fuller and more independent lives,” said Gene D’Adamos president and CEO of the Nina Mason Pulliam Charitable Trust. “By supporting their mobile meals program, Foothills Caring Corps is able to expand its reach and serve more homebound individuals in Phoenix.”
