Operation Back to School Chandler

For Our City Chandler is proud to present the biggest back-to-school collaborative donation drive for Chandler students in need. Chandler K-12 students can receive backpacks filled with school supplies, shoes, uniforms, socks and underwear (as they last) in addition to information on free after school programs! This year we will be distributing backpacks at four schools throughout Chandler.
