GeorgiA CHild Identification Program (GACHIP) addresses the alarming fact that over 1,000,000 children are reported missing in the United States each year, according to the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children (NCMEC). On average, a child is reported missing every 43 seconds.
At GACHIP EVENTS, the Masons provide the equipment, volunteers and materials necessary to generate identifying items of your child in "completed packs" (not kits to be filled out by you at home) for you to take home for safe keeping. In the event your child is missing, you then provide the GACHIP PACK to law enforcement as an aid in recovery and identification. GACHIP is a part of MASONICHIP which is recognized by the NCMEC as one of the most comprehensive child ID services available and all the identifying items in the pack are provided at NO COST to the general public.
No information nor data is retained by anyone involved with GACHIP. Only the permission slip is retained to document the number of children served. No copies of any ID materials are kept on file by any of the organizers; the parents receive all ID materials and health information produced.
Georgia Freemasonry is proud to bring the families of our state this wonderful program for the protection of all of our children!
It's not what we do, it's who we do it for!
