Outreach is a central focus at Foothills. Through our Outreach program, we assist people in need in our community and beyond. There are so many worthy programs that need support. Our Outreach Committee focuses on specific areas that represent the feelings of most church members, which tends to be supporting agencies or projects that serve families, children and youth in the local area. We strongly support outreach by gifts of volunteer hours and dollars from individuals and from our Outreach Endowment Fund.
Decisions regarding which organizations/projects to support and at what financial level are made annually after considerable research and interviews. We also make special catastrophic need donations whenever possible. In 2022, Foothills is supporting these organizations:
- Child Advocates
- Community Health Awareness Council (CHAC)
