Invest in the future of a child

What happens in the first 2,000 days will have an impact for the rest of their life.

Our program provides evidence-based home visiting for vulnerable children living in poverty under the age of 5 and their families. Dollar for dollar the success of the CHIP program proves it’s the best investment for a kid’s future!

"Nothing is more important than a child's early years.  CHIP is in the forefront of ensuring kids get a good start in life, beginning before birth with prenatal care and continuing until a child enters school, well-prepared for the next part of their life. The work CHIP is doing today will pay dividends to our community for decades to come.  You can't find a better investment than CHIP." - Bob Powers
