Because of the collaborative partnerships with community organizations and funders, CHOP Out Hunger feeds a child for just $5.00 a week

Programs include:

Backpack Program

Students are given a bag of food every Friday to take home and get them through the weekend. Bags include easy to prepare, nutritious foods, and fresh produce.

In-School Pantries

At the high school level, we introduce an in-school pantry that is self-serve to all students. This is self-policed and teaches students to self-advocate for their needs. Foods are grab-and-go nutritious snacks, as well as food to be taken home and prepared.

Pop Up Pantries

Pop Up Pantries allow us to come into a community with a box truck full of food; including, pantry staples, fresh produce, frozen meats, and dairy. As with all our programs, there are no income restrictions.

Summer Meal Programs

Depending on the program, the distribution model varies. Sometimes our team hosts a weekly summer program with a meal/snacks, other times we distribute backpack-like boxes to families
