Scatter delight and spill joy! Adopt a family for the holidays

The Holiday Adopt-A-Family program is easier than ever, with area non-profits looking to the Foothills Food Bank to handle the details. Just call 480-488-1145 or e-mail [email protected] to receive a Wish List for a nameless family. Purchase at least one item but feel free to go wild. Wrap, label and drop off your gift(s) by Dec. 9 at the Food Bank, 6920 Cave Creek Rd. in Cave Creek. Then sit back and smile on Sunday, Dec. 13, imagining your family at the holiday party co-sponsored by Carefree Kiwanis and Foothills Food Bank.

Helping others is a family affair at Tobias' Automotive where Brad, Louise and Andy Tobias are shown with a portion of their customers' donations on the first day of their Foothills Food Bank holiday food drive. Want to donate? Drop off canned goods and pantry food items at Tobias Automotive, 6022 E. Cave Creek Rd., or at the Foothills Food Bank, 6920 E. Cave Creek Rd., in Cave Creek.

Grab a can and head for the Christmas Parade in Carefree

This holiday season, combine an evening of old-fashioned fun with the reward of giving to others. Draw a red circle around Saturday, Dec. 12 from 6 – 7 p.m. and bring a can of food to the Carefree Christmas Festival Parade. Don’t miss the fun of stocking the Food Bank cupboards “on the run” as the parade rolls down Easy Street. The Foothills Food Bank needs help in filling the grocery carts that will be pushed along by volunteers behind the float. Look for the Food Bank’s dazzling holiday tree adorned with cereal boxes and the decorated Food Bank van. The Carefree Christmas Festival is proudly sponsored by the Carefree Businesses and the Carefree/Cave Creek Chamber.
