Our programs
What are the organization's current programs, how do they measure success, and who do the programs serve?
In School Pantires
The In School Pantry Program has helped close the gap for teens experiencing food insecurity. Often times, there is stigma around adolescents when it comes to hunger, which is why CHOP utilizes the In School Pantry to normalize pantry use.
Normalizers, highly desired food items like water bottles, Chex, gum, and jerky, are introduced among fresh fruit, breakfast and dinner items. This self- serve model is available daily and self-policed. It also teaches students to self- advocate for their needs, as well as the needs of their siblings.
2020 IN SCHOOL PANTRY STATS
• More than 20 In School Pantry Programs
• 15,000 students have access daily to nutritious snacks and meals
• 2021-22 school year projections include 100 more schools, and increasing
access to 100,000 students daily.

Charting impact
Four powerful questions that require reflection about what really matters - results.
What is the organization aiming to accomplish?
Since day one, we’ve focused on closing the meal gap and seeking out partnerships to end childhood hunger.
What are the organization's key strategies for making this happen?
We use research to determine the hunger gap in our service areas. Then, we roll up our sleeves and get to work by launching Backpack Programs in local schools, creating Pop up Pantries in food deserts, and implementing programs that will reach the most vulnerable children.
We work with local food banks, schools, and generous donors to get food into the hands of kids. We have an incredible team of employees and volunteers who make this work possible.
What are the organization's capabilities for doing this?
By partnering with other local organizations, we are able to address food insecurity quickly and efficiently.
What have they accomplished so far and what's next?
