Child Hunger Outreach Partners (CHOP) was granted $75,000 by AllOne Foundation to lead the effort to erase childhood hunger in Bradford, Lackawanna, Luzerne, Tioga, Wyoming, Sullivan, and Susquehanna Counties. As a direct result of the support, CHOP is pleased to announce that upwards of 30,000 children will be provided with daily food access across these counties. The grant also allowed CHOP to purchase a cargo van which is critical to the expansion. The van gives the ability to pick up food donations from multiple food banks as well as deliver food to schools for the backpack and in-school pantry programs.
CHOP currently provides 20,000 children with daily food access across these counties and with the help of key partners like AllOne, growing that number above 30,000 this year will be possible.
If you would like to join AllOne Foundation and the many other generous community partners who are making it possible for CHOP to achieve this feat, please visit www.chopouthunger.org/take-action!
