Celebrating Community Connections in Gilbert

The Town of Gilbert Community Resources is launching a new community event designed to bring together 50 local nonprofits, Gilbert & Higley public schools, Town departments, and human service providers to connect residents with essential resources. Attendees will have the opportunity to explore services related to housing, mental health, employment support, recreation programs, school initiatives, financial assistance, education, and more.
