Operating from a Frisco warehouse at 16005 Gateway Drive, Suite 200, is Children's Hunger Fund, a California-headquartered Christian nonprofit ministry that provides food to children in need. Since 1991, 96% of the fund's revenue supports programs that serve children and families struggling with food insecurity. Frisco City Lifestyle asked Hal Williams, the group's senior coordinator of relationship development, how the local community can assist.
HOW DOES CHF WORK?
"CHF delivers hope to suffering children and their families, beginning by delivering a Food Pak, a box of non-perishable food. This step creates opportunities to build relationships. Often, when people struggle financially, they don’t want others to know so they distance themselves. We facilitate the opportunities for true hope and solutions."
WHAT ITEMS ARE NEEDED?
"We routinely need Food Paks items: pasta, cans of vegetables/tuna/beans, peanut butter, fruit snacks, granola bars."
HOW CAN INDIVIDUALS OR BUSINESS TEAMS BEST ASSIST CHF'S EFFORTS?
"Businesses, churches, schools and other groups can participate with Project Food Pak (PFP). We bring refolded boxes with shopping lists to your location. You pass out boxes to employees, congregation members or school groups to take home. Fill boxes with items on the shopping list; then return the box to your location, from which we'll arrange for it to be picked up for Food Paks.
We have volunteer opportunities throughout the year, for sorting and packaging.
Monetary and food product donations are always appreciated."

"You’d be surprised how many of our Frisco neighbors are struggling to make ends meet. But we can all help together," says Hal Williams, Children's Hunger Fund senior coordinator of relationship development.
