A ribbon-cutting ceremony was held Oct. 8 to mark the expansion of Communities In Schools of Chesterfield to Hopkins Elementary, beginning with the 2025–26 school year. CIS-C support ranges from providing basic necessities—like weekend food backpacks, school supplies, or even a bed to sleep in—to mental health counseling, mentoring programs, and family engagement nights. With the addition of Hopkins, CIS-C serves 16 Chesterfield County Public Schools, reaching 14,725 students.
