Good morning, Chandler.

Hidden Treasures thrift shop (610 N.

Alma School Road) in Chandler has seen more young shoppers buying low-priced items as its volunteer-run store, managed by Deb Hosfield and operated by four churches, uses its profits to support local charities. The store sells popular women’s clothing, kitchenware and picture frames while its donation pick-up service will resume in September.

Entrepreneurs, small business owners and community leaders gathered in early August at Chandler Center for the Arts to mark National Black Business Month — the Black Chamber of Arizona, working with city leaders and local organizations, offered funding opportunities, educational resources and support for growing businesses.

Emilie Kiser said her 3-year-old son tripped and drowned in the backyard pool at her Chandler home, and she filed a lawsuit to block records of the accident as the loss has deeply affected her family.

On Aug. 11, Chandler staff and presenters updated the City Council on plans to keep housing costs under 30% of income by promoting middle housing in future developments—comparing past downtown plans with current strategies to increase density in key areas.

Travel experts shared last-minute trip ideas for Labor Day weekend in Arizona—giving residents options for quick getaways and local attractions to explore.
