The ministry of Children’s Hunger Fund (CHF) would not be where it is today without God’s blessing and the support of people like you! Your support allows CHF to equip local pastors worldwide with the training and resources to reach families in need with food and the gospel message of hope.
Whether you joined us at the 2025 President’s Invitational or were unable to make it, we invite you to be a part of what God is doing through Children’s Hunger Fund. You have the opportunity to make a significant impact in the lives of suffering children across the US and around the world.
Thank you for your desire to make a difference.
For the children we serve,
Dave Phillips
Founder and President
Children’s Hunger Fund (CHF) delivers hope to suffering children by equipping local churches for gospel-centered mercy ministry. We distribute aid through three Volunteer Centers in the US—Dallas, San Antonio, and our headquarters in Los Angeles—and through over a thousand local church partners in 33 countries around the world. We also work with like-minded partners across the US to resource over 3,500 additional local churches with donated food and goods. Every resource provided creates a new touchpoint for these churches to share the gospel with children in need.
Because of friends like you, CHF has been able to help local churches share the hope of the gospel to children and families in need for almost 35 years. Since 1991, 96% of total contributions have supported programs that serve suffering children and families—over 750 million meals have been distributed.
Children’s Hunger Fund is in year five of a ten-year growth initiative to impact 10 million children each year through a global network of trained churches and like-minded ministry partners.
The initiative includes both domestic and international components that address extreme poverty, malnutrition, lack of education, and other issues in impoverished communities where our partners serve. Children’s Hunger Fund now has trained networks of partner churches in 33 countries, including the United States. Each one focuses on identifying families that live in extreme poverty, seeking to build trust relationships with them through the home delivery of Food Paks.
This global network of trained churches does far more than feed hungry children. Many are working to provide a Christian education for orphan children; some are focusing on helping children who have been negatively impacted by trafficking and abuse; others are providing medical and dental assistance to the families that receive Food Paks; and some are providing vocational training and self-sustaining programs that CHF often funds.
Your gift can be used for various projects within the growth initiative, which will position CHF to effectively distribute more than 100 million meals annually.
Additionally, it will help us fulfill some of our fiscal year priorities for 2025, which include expanding our volunteer programs and Food Pak assembly, funding more international Mercy Centers, extending the reach of our Poverty Encounter audience, and generating seed money for the expansion of ministry programs.
One aspect of our ten-year growth initiative is to expand our reach across the United States and continue to train and serve hundreds more churches with Food Paks every month.
Our greatest financial need is to support the domestic expansion objectives in our operating budget. This includes expenses related to our national food program and network of churches; costs related to our national Gifts-In-Kind program, volunteer services, and Poverty Encounter exhibit; and funding to increase the size of our national Food Pak distribution network by 25% over the next twelve months.
Our church partners across the United States are impacting the next generation with the gospel message. Additionally, thousands of churches are receiving bulk food and other much-needed resources to meet the needs of underserved children and families in their communities. In addition to providing training to new churches, reaching our goal of $500,000 will enable us to provide an additional $5.5 million of food and other resources to children and families in need across the United States.

As a young man, the devastating poverty Dave witnessed at a children’s hospital in Honduras changed him forever. With a united passion to impact the next generation and help local churches build relationships with poor children in their communities, Dave and his wife, Lynn, founded Children’s Hunger Fund (CHF).
After helping her husband, Dave, establish Children’s Hunger Fund, Lynn transitioned from her job as a public school teacher to homeschooling their four sons. Lynn has always had a heart for children, and her desire to educate the next generation on a biblical response to global poverty led to her role as a Poverty Encounter facilitator. She now serves CHF as a Relationship Development Ambassador.
With experience working for a number of different non-profit organizations, Savannah joined the Children’s Hunger Fund team in 2018. After relocating to California from Oregon, Savannah was drawn to the mission and vision of CHF. She served as the executive assistant for the Office of the President for several years before stepping into her current role on the executive team.
