About
History
The Chandler Christian Community Center was organized in 1966 for the purpose of providing assistance to those who were in need. The center has … provided emergency food to the needy of this community. The numbers have increased dramatically over the years. Today it remains the largest charitable Food Bank organization in the community, providing food to the low income and homeless in the area.
In FY 08/09 the Center provided food to 90,439 people in our service area. Elementary school children received new clothing, backpacks and school supplies through our annual Back to School Program. Operation Santa provided toys, books, stuffed animals and candy to children.
