2024 Event Report
For Our City - Chandler was excited for our 11th annual Operation Back to School. Thanks to the generous support of Compass Christian Church, we were able to utilize three spacious indoor areas for distributing essential supplies like backpacks, underwear, socks, shoes, and haircuts. Representatives from CUSD’s Title I schools were present to connect with families and share important information for the upcoming school year. Despite the extreme heat, thousands of residents accessed these valuable resources and were well-prepared for school. We extend a heartfelt thanks to the Chandler Fire and Police Departments for their heat relief efforts. Our three title sponsors, Blue Cross Blue Shield, Edwards Vacuum, and Scheels were a huge support. Special appreciation also goes to our dedicated volunteers, who tirelessly facilitated smooth operations, ensured hydration, and brought smiles to students and their parents. Thank you to those businesses, non-profits, and community partners that shared materials for our Community Resource Bags. Whether you came to serve or to receive services, the sense of community on the campus was palpable.
This is the essence of For Our City - Chandler!
