CHiPS Soup Kitchen & Women's Shelter

We’re so grateful to partner with Five Acres Farm to provide our pantry recipients with donated local milk. In May, we served 2,500 half gallons to our neighbors in Brooklyn. This month, we’re projected to hit around 4,500 half gallons. That’s a value of around $30,000! We’re proud to serve fresh, local products at our pantry distributions. We started serving produce a few years ago, and we’re committed to continuing to expand our pantry offerings. Giving out milk is just the first step!

We'll be in Fort Greene on Saturday at the Ingersoll Community Center for a new *weekly* stop and we need volunteers!!

Come get fresh produce and pantry items or join us as a volunteer. Sign up on Golden or email [email protected].

We recently joined other food advocates on the steps of City Hall to call for $100 million baseline funding for Community Food Connection (CFC) in the Fiscal Year 2027 City Budget. CFC provides emergency food funding to over 700 pantries and soup kitchens in New York City, including to CHiPS!

Join us in asking for $100 million by adding your name to the petition linked in our bio.

Eid Mubarak! Last Friday we held a special holiday distribution in advance of Eid at our halal-friendly Kensington stop. In addition to dry goods and produce, we distributed milk, eggs, yogurt, halal chickens, and halal stew beef to 250 households.

A big thank you to Met Council, Halal Food Connections, and Councilmember Shahana Hanif for their support in making this distribution a success.
