Children's Hunger Relief Fund, Inc.

CHRF is a church and does not file a 990 but after talking with them and verifying they have an outside CPA conducting an independent review I felt comfortable with the figures provided in their annual report and letters. After making my donation I was able to receive a personalized report some months later about the meals CHRF was able to help provide. I respect their work as a Church and commend them for the things that they do.

I received an unsolicited donation request with 6 cents attached to the letter. I tried researching this charity and was unable to find any positive information about it, so I decided to contact them and request to be removed from their mailing list. To my surprise, the form on their website requires you to give your phone number if you want to stop receiving mail from them! This is very suspect. The 6 cents they gave me will be going towards a legitimate charity.

I received a letter from CHRF asking for support and talked to them on the phone. Very good people committed to very good work! I will continue to support them.

I am constantly inspired and encouraged by the good work that is being done by CHRF. Their participation in using relatively low cost direct mail requests reflects the efficiency of the organization, after all, in order to send support you must raise funds some how. I found this organization compliant and prompt in responding to requests to be omitted from future mailings.

Since I first donated to CHRF I have received requests from several other non-profits to feed the starving children with similar pictures as CHRF has sent. I am wondering how much CHRF is making from selling our names to other organizations. I don not need their 2 and 3 pennies to encourage me to donate, that is bribery!

I LOVE CHRF, they truly work hard so that donations here in the United States can go a long way to improving the life of children around the world. I always feel good about my donations.

With the help of CHRF I was able to build a school building in Uganda and provide over 6,000 meals in Ethiopia. I feel great because I believe I have really made a difference in the world and in the lives of suffering children.

“CHRF is not just a big organization that has provided millions in relief to areas where "Angels fear to tread" ... areas where other relief organizations have had to withdraw. They are an organization which takes the time to help people like myself to realize their dreams of taking action for the less fortunate children of the world.

Working together, we all can realize the dream of "making a difference" to the millions of children who suffer from hunger and lack of education. "Together.... we CAN!"

I just received a solicitation with penny coins attached. WHY? I looked them up on Charity review sites and found they didn't respond to Better Business Bureau requests for information. It appears they are trying to look like the very legitimate Children's Hunger Fund which is reputable and well run. I am very suspicious of this outfit. NO SALE!!!

Upon receiving a mailed request for donations from Childrens Hunger Relief Fund (CHRF) it bothered me as being wasteful that genuine U.S. coins were attached to the letter. I also questioned the high "96.9% of all donations" claimed to be "allocated to projects". Because of that I searched the Better Business Bureau and Charity Navigator websites for ratings. I suggest anyone thinking about donating to them should also check with the BBB and Charity Navigator. Do not confuse CHRF with the Children's Hunger Fund -- the 2 seem to be on opposite ends of the spectrum,

This must be the 3rd or 4th unsolicited request from CHRF, each time with coins; this last with a nickle!
Of course the accompanying pictures are unpleasant and sad; in my opinion it is wasteful for a charity
to spend 0.05 for the chance someone will bite; that's $1 for 20 mailings; they would spend probably
$50 for 1000 mailings (to make it worthwhile); that's a substantial sum; also added to the cost is the
prepaid envelope and the charity is now well above $50. I would venture to say they send out much more
than 1000 solicitations. I replied once with a note saying to stop and any future coins are mine; all I can
now do is return the envelope with the coin. I don't think this charity reads their mail unless it has a
check in it.

The work and help to children suffering internationally is very inspiring to me personally. I love their cause and their work.

I have just received another unsolicited envelope asking for money. This marketing stuff is very expensive and wasteful.
