Childhood Hunger Initiative Power Pack (AKA CHIPP™)

 1 in 4 students in Chicago Public Schools experiences hunger and/or food insecurity. Approximately 60% of Chicago Public Schools students receive free or reduced lunch (Source: Greater Chicago Food Depository, 2022). 

In an effort to combat childhood hunger, Power Packs are delivered weekly to 100 students at Paul Cuffe STEM Academy. We provide additional food support to bridge the gap between meals and ensure students receive supplemental food on the weekends and holidays.
