    • ICAN
    • Edward Jones
    • Covance
    • Chandler United Methodist Church
    • Avnet
    • PayPal
    On July 18, ICAN will host a back to school luau where youth will receive their backpacks and supplies. Volunteers are welcome to help and urged to sign up through ICAN’s Volunteer Coordinator at volunteer@icanaz.org. Just a simple donation of pencils, pens, paper, etc. can make a huge difference in a youth’s success for the school year. You donation not only helps them succeed this school year but is reflected through their academic future.
