Join CHiPS in the fight to end hunger and homelessness

 

For over fifty years, you have helped us give people a hot breakfast, lunch, pantry bags and shelter services. Through your contributions, we serve 60,000 meals every year—and a little goes a long way.

CHiPS is a nonprofit, tax-exempt 501(c)(3) organization. Contributions are tax deductible and directly support the soup kitchen and women’s shelter.

How your gift helps:

  • Our meals cost $4.50

  • $27 = Six hot meals in our soup kitchen

  • $162 = Thirty-six hot meals

  • $215 = One month of shelter for an expecting mother

  • $283 = One month of shelter for mother and child

While one-time donations are welcomed, ongoing monthly contributions create a powerful impact.

  • $50.00 a month provides 133 hot meals annually.

When you give a little more, we can get—and do—a lot more.

Bulk buying is key to our ability to serve our people at scale. When you raise your donation by just a few dollars—say, from $10 to $20 amount—we’re able to double the amount of items we can buy from our wholesalers. If you have any questions about making a donation or to request information for a stock or EFT gift please contact shanice@chipsonline. You can also mail a gift to CHiPS at Community in Park Slope (CHiPS), 200 4th Ave Brooklyn NY 11217.

Does your company have a matching gift program?

Matching gift programs are corporate sponsored employee benefits designed to encourage philanthropy in our community – and it’s easy to do.  

HOW DO I REQUEST A MATCHING GIFT OR VOLUNTEER GRANT?

Requesting a matching gift is typically a quick process which must be initiated by the donor/volunteer. You can do this by filling out and submitting a match form provided by your employer or through an electronic submission process.

Most corporate matching gift procedures, however, are simple:

  • Request a Matching Form from your company
  • Complete and submit the form to CHiPS
  • We take care of the rest, and your company issues a matching gift contribution

PLEASE CHECK TO SEE IF YOUR COMPANY OFFERS A MATCHING GIFT PROGRAM
