Foothills Rural Community Ministry has been helping our rural neighbors in need in many ways since 1986

Volunteers are at the heart of our helping community, and are ALWAYS welcome. Some like the hands-on work of helping out in the Food Pantry or Thrift Shop. Others enjoy supporting the artistry and music of the Park Coffeehouse. Still others are members of our Council, which functions as our Board of Directors.

Our volunteers are community members from a widespread area. FRCM offers an opportunity for fellowship with others as well as a chance to help those who need us.
