As the year comes to a close, we reflect on the incredible stories of hope, resilience, and transformation that your support has made possible. At CHOP Out Hunger, we’re on a mission to ensure no child goes hungry, and today, you have an extraordinary opportunity to help us finish the year strong.

Thanks to a generous matching gift, every dollar you give will be doubled. That means twice as many meals, twice as much hope, and twice the impact for the children and families we serve

How Your Support Changes Lives

Every week, CHOP Out Hunger provides meals to 45,000 children across Pennsylvania through programs like our Weekend Backpack Program and In-School Pantries. These meals ensure kids have the nutrition they need to grow, learn, and thrive.

Take Ella’s story, for example. Ella is a bright third grader who dreams of becoming a teacher. But weekends were often filled with worry—would there be enough food for her and her little brother? When Ella received her first weekend backpack, she told us with a smile, “Now I can help my brother, and we won’t be hungry anymore.”

Or consider Marcus, a shy 10-year-old who shared this with us: “I’m not scared about weekends anymore. Thank you for helping my family.”

These are just two of the thousands of stories your generosity makes possible.

Why the Matching Gift Matters

Child hunger is a persistent challenge in our community, but your support can make a real difference. With the matching gift, your $25 donation turns into $50, providing twice the meals for children like Ella and Marcus.

Here’s what your gift can do:

• $25 (matched to $50) provides weekend meals for 10 kids.
• $50 (matched to $100) fills backpacks with nutritious food for 20 children.
• $100 (matched to $200) stocks pantry shelves for an entire school.

This is more than a donation—it’s a chance to bring comfort and stability to families who need it most.

Let’s Finish Strong Together

Your support this year has been nothing short of inspiring. Because of you, thousands of children entered the school year ready to learn, knowing they wouldn’t have to face hunger alone. Now, as we close out the year, we invite you to join us one last time to make an even bigger impact.

Every gift, no matter the size, makes a difference. And today, with the matching gift, your generosity can stretch even further.

Be the Difference

Whether it’s a meal in a child’s backpack, a stocked school pantry, or a warm meal shared at home, your support provides more than food—it offers hope, dignity, and brighter futures.
