We have a lot to be thankful for in our Chandler Community. During this Thanksgiving 2018 season, Chandler residents give back with food drives, volunteer dinners, and much more, including our own Living Chandler Food Drive. Our community offers many ways for residents to enjoy their holiday dinners with family and friends, including great places to get turkeys, fully-prepared dinners, and all the things you need to create the perfect table for Thanksgiving.
At Living Chandler, we are so grateful to be part of this community and for all of you, our community members. We hope the information below will help you celebrate your holiday with each other, this amazing community and your friends and family. Happy Thanksgiving!
