The Chandler community is set for a busy September, uniting residents through charity events and initiatives that support local causes and nurture civic pride.

 

On September 6, Matthew's Crossing Food Bank hosts a Community Garage Sale Fundraiser at Famous Dave’s, encouraging donations and giving locals a chance to support neighbors in need.

 

The Semicolon Society continues the momentum on September 7 with its Suicide Prevention Gathering and Vigil at Chandler Community Center, offering solidarity and resources for those affected.

 

Mental health takes center stage September 9, as the city’s Diversity, Equity & Inclusion Division brings back the Building Better Mental Health workshop at Downtown Chandler Library, led by Estefana Johnson.

 

The Chandler Chamber of Commerce invites golfers to the 24th Annual Charity Golf Tournament at Ocotillo Golf Club on September 26, benefitting student scholarships.

 

Live Love continues community improvement efforts with Serve Day on September 20, reinforcing Chandler’s spirit of connection and care.

Chandler’s youth transformed their meetinghouse into a vibrant center of service for Global Youth Service Day on April 26, 2025.

 

Over two hours, families teamed up to refurbish bikes, sort clothing, decorate ornaments, and craft “sleep tight” cards for those in need.

 

The event, meticulously planned by the youth, partnered with groups like the Arizona Refugee Center and St. Vincent de Paul.

 

Enthusiastic advisors guided hands-on projects, sparking new friendships and inspiring future activities.

 

By midday, 50 bikes were ready for refugee families, heartfelt cards were prepared for shelter guests, and hand-painted ornaments shone with community spirit.

 

Local adults marveled at the generosity and energy of the participants.

 

Chandler continues to encourage connection at places like the Downtown Farmers Market and the Chandler Museum, offering ongoing opportunities to serve and celebrate community together.
