Local non-profits are experiencing radical growth in 2025;
- Non-emergency medical transportation is up 275%. Seniors and people with chronic conditions rely on safe rides to essential appointments.
- Food insecurity has surged. As living costs climb and federal support shrinks, the Foothills Foodbank is stepping in to fill the gap.
- Meal delivery services have doubled. For many, these hot meals are their main source of daily nutrition.
- Senior wellness visits have also doubled. With isolation on the rise, more check-ins and companionship are needed than ever.
- Kid Communities are expanding. The Holland center just had 325 kids in their June 2025 summer program. This is up from 50 previously.
- Senior training classes have exploded – 500 participants so far in 2025 versus 200 this time last year!
Keep in mind—our towns of Cave Creek and Carefree don’t offer the vital services our local non-profits provide. These non-profits are the only source of support for many in our community.
This is what makes us a real COMMUNITY!
Now we have an opportunity to meet ALL of the local non-profits in one place, face to face.
You will hear about their individual demands for growth and time.
You can match our local non-profit need with your availability.
Most importantly, you can align your passions with the needs of our community!
Come have lunch and get started volunteering in our community.
Then sign up for their specific “New Volunteer” training.
Also, get all of the volunteering basic requirements done while you are there. Fingerprinting, background checks, CPR training and the new “Identifying Senior Challenges” class.
We look forward to seeing you there, RSVP NOW!
Connecting Volunteers with Local Nonprofits for a Stronger Community

To make volunteering more accessible, efficient, and impactful, we are launching the Desert Foothills Volunteer Hub—a centralized platform designed to connect individuals with nonprofit organizations, provide certified training, track volunteer credentials, and ensure a seamless experience for both volunteers and organizations.
