• Live entertainment
• Student food specials at participating restaurants
• “We <3 Chicago Ridge” wristbands (while supplies last)

Help Us Stuff our Backpacks

Help us reach 300 backpacks ready to raise success this school year. Drop new, packaged, school supplies off to the Chicago Ridge Management Office Mondays – Fridays between 8:30 am and 5:00 pm. Every donation is one more act of community toward our goal of 250.
