Welcome to the Kansas Masonic CHild Identification Program (CHIP) website. The KS CHIP or Kansas Child Identification Program addresses the alarming fact that over:

• 450,000 children run away each year
• 300,000 children are abducted each year by family members
• More than 58,000 children are abducted every year by non-family members

That's more than 800,000 children in America missing each year - one child every 40 seconds.

The Kansas Masonic CHIP Kit is the most comprehensive service of its kind anywhere. It is a community service initiative provided at NO COST through the benevolence of the Freemasons of Kansas who are dedicated to changing these statistics by providing parents and guardians with a tool they can use to help protect their children. The I.D. Kit allows parents to collect specific information by easily recording the physical characteristics, digital fingerprints, digital photo, digital video, DNA Swab and Amber Alert Compatible CD that are then kept at home by the parent or guardian. If ever needed, this I.D. Kit will give authorities vital information to assist their efforts to locate a missing child.

All of the identifying items generated during a KS CHIP Event are given to the child’s family. Only the permission slip is retained by the Freemasons of Kansas. 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.

Kansas Freemasonry is proud to bring the families of our state the KS CHIP program for the protection of all of our children!
