Providing Access to Products in Underserved Communities: CHPA Product Donation Program

CHPA is uniquely positioned to provide access to over-the-counter medicines and dietary supplements in nearly every category that can be donated and customized to the needs of underserved communities. Our product donation initiative is an ongoing effort to support these communities. So far, CHPA member companies have donated 70,000 products to people in need.

To Participate, Please Follow These Steps

View the list of deserving community and faith-based organizations below.
Email donations@chpa.org to let us know the community and/or faith-based organization you will shipping products to, including the specific products and quantity.
- Please accept these products on behalf of the Health in Hand Foundation, to help keep you and your congregation safe and healthy. We look forward to additional opportunities to strengthen communities throughout the year.
When relevant, we will recommend educational materials provided by the Health in Hand Foundation to go with your shipment that convey important medicine safety messaging.
After shipping your products, please email donations@chpa.org to confirm the final quantity. We will then connect with the community recipient to ensure the shipment was received and gather any additional feedback and/or photos to further strengthen our relationships and efforts.

Key Information on Outreach to Communities

These community hubs are set up as distribution centers with the ability to move pallets of products.
When you reach out to the hub, please provide your full contact information and when you can expect the shipments to reach the hubs. Keep in mind many churches are closed on Mondays, so please make sure you are aware of the church’s schedule.
Upon request, CHPA can provide Tax ID forms and official letters from the church hubs.
Please be sure to keep donations@chpa.org looped into your communications so we can track shipments and quantities.
