If you would like to participate by occasionally providing a meal or restaurant gift card to a family in need, you can sign up here: Compassionate Service Volunteers or contact Dori Schubring for more information at compassionateservice@chandlerpreppso.org.
If you know of a Chandler Prep family (even your own), who is experiencing a new or difficult circumstance and could benefit from a provided meal, please contact Dori Schubring at compassionateservice@chandlerpreppso.org. Thank you for your willingness to show compassionate service to our wonderful community!
Lunch Program
