Foothill Unity Center is a place of real hope and possibilities for people in crisis throughout the San Gabriel Valley-offering food, temporary shelter, case management, transportation, referrals and a variety of health services for low-income and homeless people in eleven communities in Los Angeles County.

Foothill Unity Center, Inc. invites you to help us bring some holiday cheer to low income families in our local communities. More than 400 volunteers  will come together to make a brighter holiday for local families! Join MacKid Arcadia on Dec 15th - Dec 18th at the beautiful LA County Arboretum in Arcadia to assist in helping pack food boxes to deliver to local families in need. My family will be there on Dec 15th and I hope to see you there!
