What a way to end the year! Heather Riggs, Executive Director of Teichert Construction Foundation stopped by the FTF warehouse bearing gifts! We are grateful to the Teichert team for their $5,000 donation to support our continual efforts to feed our neighbors in need through our PantryToGo free food drive-thru distributions.

𝐕𝐨𝐥𝐮𝐧𝐭𝐞𝐞𝐫 𝐒𝐩𝐨𝐭𝐥𝐢𝐠𝐡𝐭: 𝐌𝐞𝐞𝐭 𝐂𝐡𝐮𝐜𝐤! Chuck has been with us for years and is a true asset to the Feeding the Foothills family! He loves teaching our orientation class, where he meets new volunteers and welcomes them on board. After 40 years in law enforcement, Chuck enjoys giving back in a whole new way.
