The Chester Home Improvement Project (CHIP) was a volunteer program run by the Robert Wade House. People came from around Delaware County on weekends to paint and repair homes in Chester as part of a larger vision of neighborhood advancement. In addition, CHIP seems to have provided tutoring opportunities for Chester youth. Marilyn Holifield and Joyce Frisby (Baynes) volunteered with the project during their time as students.
