About Pinnacle Prevention
Founded in 2014, Pinnacle Prevention is an Arizona-based 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization dedicated to cultivating a just food system and opportunities for joyful movement.

The Pinnacle Prevention office is located in downtown Chandler, Arizona in a bike/pedestrian friendly environment.
