Childrens Hunger Fund is fantastic organization! CHF works with local churches to provide much needed nourishing food and HOPE to those in need, both locally and around the world. They focus on developing relationships and in doing so create opportunities to spread the Good News of Jesus Christ and His unconditional love. I have been supporting this organization for 20+ years and have seen firsthand the good work they do in being the hands and feet of Christ.
I'm honored to have partnered with CHF. Seeing first hand the passion that Dave and his staff have towards children and those that are in need and the continued impact that they have done all over the world. CHF is second to none.
Love the work of CHF. Love the opportunities created by CHF for others to get involved in helping children around the world have a little better life than they normally would have. Love that CHF is one of the few charitable organizations where donations go directly to help the poor and not to "administration". Love that CHF is an international supplier of food to a dying world. Love that CHF is transparent in its operations and worthy to help support by our giving or our volunteering. I have a daughter whose entire family volunteers throughout the year either packing food boxes for shipment somewhere or by volunteering to wrap Christmas packages for the less advantaged. I can't think of a better organization to teach her children the meaning of giving sacrificially and literally to the work of CHF.
I first came in contact with CHF about 12 years ago when my church was volunteering at their annual Christmas toy wrap. This is an amzing organization serving God with offering life-changing experiences for our local children and children worldwide. Year after year, CHF is recognized for the impact they are making and for being fiscally responsible with the donations received. May God continue to Bless these individuals for the work they are doing.
Review from JustGive
We were introduced to Children's Hunger Fund in 2002. At that time the charity was 10 years old. After hearing the Founder/President, Dave Phillips at an event he was addressing for the first time, we did our due diligence and not only researched to find out the efficiency of the organization but also wanted to know the effectiveness of the programs. It is now almost 10 years later and we remain loyal donors, supporters and friends to Children's Hunger Fund. It's one thing to know that a charity takes stewardship of the financial donations seriously, but also very rewarding to know that those donations are being put to effective programs that bring about change in the life of the family on the recipient side.
The need is great, the ability for a charity to reach many depends upon a program (such as the one at CHF) that partners with the local church in order to engage an army of like-stewards to reach those families in their zip code area; build the relationship; then assist the family in moving out of what got them into their predicament in the first place. It's not about a box of food, but the effective and continual change that affects and entire neighborhood, community and yes, even the nation.
Thank you Children's Hunger Fund for remaining within God's Will as you project the Vision of CHF to the donors/staff/prospective donors and staff.
I've been so blessed to know and partner with the CHF team for more than seven years. Their amazing leadership, their extensive knowledge of logistics and what works in the more than 70 countries they serve is evidenced by the effectiveness of their campaigns, their steady growth and their compassionate hearts. They're one of the most effective charities I've ever seen and I'm excited to continue partnering with them.
Review from CharityNavigator
Children's Hunger Fund is my charity of choice for helping the needy in the US and abroad. They are setup to help individual churches meet their local hunger needs as well as equipped to meet the needs of large crises. I have been privileged to help pack food at their San Antonio location and meet the staff their. I am impressed by their desire to keep the Gospel of Jesus Christ as the focus of their humanitarian work as well as their ability to operate on some very slim margins, making the most of every dollar (or product) donated.

This organization is so great. We love helping out a volunteering at our local CHF location. We helped packed Food Paks that were being distributed in our very own city and to places over seas. Our family also had fun wrapping toys for children everywhere during their Toy Wrap. Everyone who works there is incredibly talented with tremendous hearts, we always look forward to volunteering and share about Children's Hunger Fund.
Review from CharityNavigator
We live in an area were our kids cannot serve with us to help out the hungry, poor, homeless. At CHF (3 hours away from us) we are able to do that and have been serving at CHF since my kids were 5 years old. We have since brought CHF Food Pak campaign to our church and the response is bigger then expected. When you see how easy it is to serve and then investigate the financial stewardship (99% going to program and NOT administrative) it is a no brainer.
The best ministry we are involved in, as a family. We will continue far into the future.
Thank you CHF.
