    Overview: CHIP brings education and support services to the homes of low-income families with young children who live in Richmond City or Henrico and Chesterfield counties. While improvement of child health is a primary goal of CHIP, the organization approaches this from a holistic perspective, believing that helping parents gain knowledge, skills and confidence in their performance as parents is essential to child success.
