Summer is a rough time for food banks, and this year's economy is really hurting the Foothills Food Bank. For those of you who aren't familiar with this non-profit, it is in Cave Creek. It provides emergency food assistance, gas cards, and financial help to people all over the Valley. The director Pam is a friend of mine. She has told me the food bank is seeing a lot of families from Anthem, as well as Phoenix, Cave Creek, New River, etc. They can't meet the demand. So many people need help right now.

The Foothills Food Bank is asking anyone who can help to just donate a few cans of food, set up a donation box at a business, anything.

Our community is famous for being charitable, and I'm hoping that families here will be willing to help out.

Hunter is always a trooper and very rarely complains. As you’ve seen and know, he is always full of smiles, laughs, and also has his six-year-old mischief, amidst his daily diabete ... :: Read more
