We are thankful
for you!
This year’s theme, Reaching Hearts, Changing Lives, reflects the work God is doing through this ministry—through relationships, faithfulness, and the hope of the gospel. This is the ministry that is made possible thanks to God’s blessing and the support of people like you!
Whether or not you joined us this year at President’s Invitational, the invitation is always open to be a part of what God is doing around the world through Children’s Hunger Fund (CHF). It is exciting to see lives changed, and you have the opportunity to make a significant difference in the lives of children in need.
Thank you for your desire to make a difference.
For the children we serve,
Children’s Hunger Fund (CHF) delivers hope to children in need by equipping local churches for gospel-centered mercy ministry. We distribute aid through three Volunteer Centers in the US—Dallas, San Antonio, and our Los Angeles headquarters—and through more than a thousand local church partners in 32 developing countries worldwide. We also work with like-minded partners across the US to resource more than 3,500 additional local churches with donated food and goods. Every resource we provide creates a new touchpoint for these churches to share the gospel with children in need.
Because of friends like you, CHF has helped local churches share the hope of the gospel with children and families in need for 35 years. Since 1991, 96% of total contributions have supported programs serving suffering children and families—over 1 billion meals have been distributed.
Ways to Continue the Journey
We invite you to be part of God’s plan for the Children’s Hunger Fund ministry. During the weekend, we offered three pathways. Give. Share. See. Each offers a way forward rooted in relationship.
Giving Opportunities
As God leads, partner with Children’s Hunger Fund by giving so that more children and families can experience the hope of the gospel.
U.S. Support and Expansion
Serving children and families through trusted relationships close to home
Children’s Hunger Fund partners with local churches across the United States to support children and families facing food insecurity and hardship. These partnerships are rooted in trust, integrity, and a long-term commitment to communities.
Support for US expansion strengthens existing church partnerships and establishes new ones in regions with growing needs, including Southern California, Texas, North Texas, Chicagoland, and emerging areas of opportunity. Through the Food Pak ministry, volunteer engagement, and relational outreach, churches are equipped to walk faithfully with families over time.
This support helps ensure that churches have the resources, training, and capacity they need to reach hearts and change lives in their communities.
International Support and Expansion
Serving children and families through the local church in the world’s most vulnerable places
Around the world, Children’s Hunger Fund partners with local churches to serve children and families impacted by severe poverty, conflict, and instability. These churches are deeply connected to their communities and uniquely suited to provide ongoing care, dignity, and hope.
Through Food Pak delivery, training, and relational ministry, churches can address practical needs while sharing the hope of the gospel.
This work develops gradually and faithfully—through relationships built over time—creating sustainable, gospel-centered impact in the lives of children and families.
Where Most Needed
Responding faithfully as God opens new doors
Some opportunities cannot be foreseen in advance. This area of support allows Children’s Hunger Fund to respond prayerfully and wisely as new doors open—whether through emerging partnerships, unexpected needs, or strategic investments that strengthen the ministry as a whole.
Gifts in this category provide the flexibility needed to support churches, increase capacity, and steward resources with integrity as God directs. This opportunity ensures CHF can remain responsive and faithful—prioritizing trust, relationships, and long-term impact wherever the need is greatest.
Your President’s Invitational Hosts
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).
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.
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.
