Expanding Capacity to Feed the Hungry
Last week, I had the pleasure of attending the Ribbon Cutting Ceremony of Children Hunger Fund's Office Space and Global Distribution Center in Sylmar, California. Children's Hunger Fund is one of Project 7's Feed the Hungry partners and so it's wonderful to see how they are expanding their capacity to hungry kids in America and throughout the world.
I joined board members, volunteers, and other corporate partners, in a tour of the 66,000 square-foot facility. Highlights included getting a sneak peak at The Poverty Encounter (an immersive learning experience), hearing from founder and president Dave Phillips, and wrapping, or trying to wrap, toys donated by Ty that would be distributed children across the country who might not otherwise have gifts this Christmas.
Celebrating its 20th anniversary, CHF is a 501(c)3 nonprofit organization, alleviating the suffering of needy children across America and around the world. CHF provides training and resources to local churches to help them meet the needs in their communities. Since CHF's beginning, an average of 99% of total contributions has gone directly to programs serving children. CHF has distributed one billion dollars in aid and is recognized for efficiency by Forbes.com, MinistryWatch.org, and CharityNavigator.org. Visit www.ChildrensHungerFund.org for more information.
Here are some more pictures of the big day. (And don't you for one minute judge my gift-wrapping abilities! :))
