The CHIPP™ (Child Hunger Initiative Power Packs) program, now entering its fourth year, provides free nutritious meals to children over weekends and school breaks. Each child receives a Power Pack, a green, eco-friendly backpack containing eight non-perishable food items, including meals, snacks, fruits, and vegetables. Packs are distributed every Friday and aim to ensure children return to school ready to learn on Monday.
