OUR HISTORY

Incorporated October 16, 1997, Foothills Service Project began as an outreach of Crosslink Church (formerly  the Evangelical Methodist Church) in Rutherford College, NC, to respond to the need of home repair in Burke County.  We now partner with over 50 churches and groups to reach into Burke and surrounding counties.

In 2006 we opened a thrift store in Valdese, NC to help fund our mission. In 2010 we opened a second location in Drexel, NC.

Foothills received national recognition when it was awarded the Outstanding Community Service Award by the Southeastern Association of Area Agencies on Aging in 2011.
