Foothill Unity Center Hosting Campaign Event Aug. 17

Over the last five years, the number of people served by the Foothill Unity Center has more than tripled, making a facilities expansion critical. After years of planning, studying and evaluating, the Foothill Unity Center recently purchased a property at 790 W. Chestnut in Monrovia.
In honor of the close of escrow, Foothill Unity Center will host a campaign announcement event to celebrate with the community. The event will be Thursday, Aug. 17, from 4-6 p.m. The $6 million building campaign is the first capital campaign in the organization’s 37-year history. This is a free event to tour the new facilities and learn more about the organization.
Foothill Unity Center is a Community Action Agency and the primary provider of food, case management/crisis help, and access to health care resources serving clients in Pasadena, Altadena, South Pasadena, Sierra Madre, Arcadia, Monrovia, Bradbury, Duarte, Azusa, Baldwin Park and Irwindale. The center operates two facilities in Monrovia and one Pasadena. The mission of the organization is to “help neighbors in crisis attain self-sufficiency by partnering with the community and using resources wisely to provide vital support services with love and dignity.”
“The move is a further demonstration of the commitment to support the growing needs of the community with better and broader services,” said Betty McWilliams, executive director. “At more than 28,000 square feet, the property fits Foothill Unity Center perfectly. With the help of the community, the board, staff, donors and a special committee, we were able to pay the initial escrow payment.
“Today, we are half-way to owning a building of our own. We will continue to raise funds and ensure that in the future, rental payments can instead go directly to services for our clients,” McWilliams said.
