A Mission Worth Sharing
The Georgia Child Identification Program (GACHIP) is an embodiment of our values—a tangible way in which we uphold our commitment to family, safety, and community well-being.
Through GACHIP, we provide parents and guardians with a comprehensive child identification packet, offering critical resources should the unthinkable ever occur. The program includes:
- Full-color digital photographs of the child from multiple angles—vital for rapid response efforts.
- Digital fingerprints, a unique and irreplaceable identifier.
- DNA and scent preservation, aiding search-and-rescue operations.
- A complete profile of distinguishing features to assist authorities in a time-sensitive crisis.
The beauty of GACHIP lies not only in what it provides, but in how it is delivered—at no cost to families. Our goal is simple: to give parents peace of mind and law enforcement the tools they need to act swiftly.
Masonry teaches us that charity is more than giving—it is doing. This program is not just a service; it is a sacred duty, ensuring that no family faces uncertainty alone. GACHIP is our promise to the future—a promise that we, as Masons, will stand ever vigilant, ever prepared, and ever ready to serve.
Your privacy is paramount. The information gathered remains with the parents; nothing is stored or retained by GACHIP or the Masonic fraternity. What we give is peace of mind, not bureaucracy.
We believe in action. Whether it’s mentoring our youth, supporting educators, or ensuring the safety of children, our work is a reflection of our values. We do this not for recognition, but because it is the right thing to do.
MasoniCHIP International. Inc. is recognized by the National Center for Missing & Exploited Children (NCMEC) as the most comprehensive program of its type and has received a SPECIAL AWARD OF COMMENDATION from the NCMEC in February 2007.
