Fielder Church’s Record-Breaking Generosity Through 15,000 Food Paks in Arlington, Texas

December 6, 2021

Our Record-Breaking Generosity Mobile Food Pak event at Fielder Church began in the early hours of November 14th, as volunteers gathered in an empty church parking lot in Arlington, Texas, ready to serve. What started in 2017 with 5,000 Food Paks grew each year—7,000, then 10,000, then 12,000 during the pandemic—as Fielder Church lived out its missional vision to “live sent” and exhale the gospel into their community. This year, across three campuses, volunteers filled 15,000 Food Paks in under two hours, a true record-breaking display of generosity that helped make children in need feel seen, known, and loved. At Children’s Hunger Fund, we are grateful for our friends at Fielder Church and their commitment to deliver hope to suffering children through every Food Pak they pack and every family they reach.

How You Are Giving Hope a Foothold in Fillmore Through Food Pak Ministry

July 26, 2021

You are giving hope a foothold in Fillmore every time you help provide a Food Pak for suffering families in this community. On a warm June afternoon, two small children in Fillmore sat around a small table enjoying applesauce from a Food Pak delivered that very morning, while Araceli, their grandmother from Michoacán, Mexico, struggled to communicate across language barriers that even separated her from her own daughters. Through the faithful ministry of Sembradores Church, home deliveries of food, and a women’s Bible study, Araceli heard the gospel message and made a declaration of faith—evidence of how your partnership is equipping local churches for gospel-centered mercy ministry among Tarasco-speaking families. As Pastor José Luis Paz seeks someone to bridge the communication gap between the church and the Tarascan community, your support is giving hope a foothold in Fillmore and helping deliver the hope of Christ to children and families in need.

As the Need Has Grown, So Has Their Ministry: How Food Pak Ministry in Palm Heights Grew to Meet Families’ Needs During Covid

June 3, 2021

As the need has grown in communities like Palm Heights, so has the way we at Children’s Hunger Fund have been able to come alongside local churches to serve families like Evangeline Gomez and her three children. Through the Food Pak ministry and bulk shipments of fresh produce and milk from our San Antonio Distribution Center, Pastor Luis and Palm Heights Church of God have been able to deliver food, prayer, and the hope of Christ to over 100 families every week, reminding struggling parents that they are not forgotten. We are thankful for faithful partners whose ministry did not shrink back during the Covid pandemic, but expanded to meet the growing need with both physical help and spiritual encouragement.
