Our Chosen Charity
Chanukah in Carefree has proudly selected Foothills Food Bank and Resource Center as our “Spirit of Giving” charity recipient for 2024. Founded in 1988, the Foothills Food Bank and Resource Center serves neighbors in North Maricopa and southern Yavapai counties, providing vital food and resources to those in need. With the help of over 300 volunteers, it operates in Cave Creek, Black Canyon City, New River, and through mobile food sharing across a 200-square-mile area. Last year, the food bank distributed over 1.75 million pounds of food, providing nearly 840,000 meals through its permanent locations, mobile pantries, and micro-pantries in schools, libraries, and a YMCA.
You can donate directly to Foothills Food Bank on their website (foothillsfoodbank.com) or by clicking to the left, on the link DONATE TO FOOTHILLS FOOD BANK. Every night of Chanukah, there will also be raffles and a silent auction of wonderful prizes donated from many local business establishments. All the proceeds of the raffles and silent auction will be donated to Foothills Food Bank. See the full list of businesses who have generously donated raffles and silent auction items, on the Contributors tab of this Chanukah in Carefree website.
