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 around the world 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 children in need across the US and around the world.
Thank you for your desire to make a difference.
For the children we serve,

Founder and President

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 that include expanding our volunteer programs and Food Pak assembly, funding more international Mercy Centers, extending the reach of our Poverty Encounter audience, and generating seen money for 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.
Every year, there are unanticipated economic, political, and natural factors that influence where CHF chooses to invest its time and resources to make the biggest impact.
Your gift can be used for special projects and areas of greatest need within the organization. In each case, our executive team works closely with our accounting department and board of directors to assess areas of need and where our available funds can make the greatest impact.


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.

For more than twenty-five years, Michael has served at Children’s Hunger Fund in a myriad of ways, from overseeing volunteer operations and international logistics to opening the San Antonio and Dallas offices. As Senior Vice President, he is focusing on cultivating relationships with supporters, stewardship, ambassador program, executive leadership, and the growth of the Children’s Hunger Fund Legacy Foundation.
