At CHEP, our vision is:



* CHEP exists to work with communities to achieve solutions to child hunger

and to improve access to good food for all.



* CHEP's vision for the community is of a community where good nutritious food

is always available for everyone no matter what their circumstances, where

there is care for the environment, support for farmers, access to local

food production, and knowledge about making healthy food choices.



* CHEP's philosophy: CHEP believes that food is a basic right and that

inadequate nutrition adversely affects a child's development, learning

ability, health and participation in community. CHEP believes that a

community development approach is necessary to fulfill our mission.
