The Foothill Unity Center also runs the Rainbow's End Thrift Store, at 1329 Huntington Drive, Duarte, CA 91010, 626-301-1333, and also has an office in Pasadena.
The purpose of the Foothill Unity Center is to give immediate assistance to those in need from our community. The people there distribute food and clothing to hundreds of local families each month. They offer referrals for shelter, medical, education, counseling, and job assistance.
Together with other community organizations the Foothill Unity Center assists people in their efforts to become self-sufficient once more.
Foothill Unity Center was founded in 1980 by Josephine Anderson. It was incorporated as a non-profit organization in 1991.
Its support and funding comes from local citizens, service clubs, churches, businesses, and grants.
As a Community Action Agency, the Center is required to have a tripartite board, with one-third of directors elected officials or their representatives, one-third Center clients and one-third local community/business members. Being a Community Action Agency means that the Center is a partner with the Community Action Partnership. Community Action Partnership is a national, 501(c)3 nonprofit membership organization that provides technical assistance, training, and other resources to Community Action Agencies, nonprofit and public groups funded by the Community Services Block Grant (CSBG), a federal program that allocates funding to states to connect Americans to greater opportunity.
