CHOP Out Hunger is a collaborative organization focused on fighting hunger across Pennsylvania. Through strategic partnerships, CHOP is providing food access to 50,000 kids a week and an additional 1,000 community members a month. Started in 2019 in rural Pennsylvania, CHOP Out Hunger has expanded across 18 counties and growing!

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

Feeding PA Kids

Imagine being a kid on a Monday morning. You just had a weekend filled with adventure—playing outside, visiting family, staying up late watching movies, or getting lost in a good book. Maybe you had pancakes on Sunday morning, pizza on Friday night, and snacks in between. You’re a little tired, but you’re ready to learn, fueled by the food and experiences that carried you through the weekend. Now, imagine the child sitting next to you. Their weekend wasn’t filled with playdates or movie nights—it was filled with hunger. No breakfast, no dinner, maybe a small snack if they were lucky. Their stomach ached as they tried to sleep. They felt weak while watching other kids play. The hours dragged on, not with joy, but with the weight of an empty stomach. Today, they’re in school, grateful —not just for the chance to learn, but for the breakfast and lunch that will finally bring relief. They eat slowly, knowing these might be the only real meals they get until tomorrow around again. This is happening right now, in our communities, in our schools, to kids who should be dreaming, growing, thriving. Instead, they’re just trying to make it through the weekend. We can stop this. You can stop this. Together, we can fill the weekend hunger gap and make sure no child has to endure days without food. Act now. Give now. #CHOPOutHunger 4o
