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.

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
