LOS ANGELES - Aug. 26, 2020 - Children's Hunger Fund is preparing to respond quickly with relief efforts for Hurricane Laura. The Category 4 Hurricane is predicted to make landfall along the Texas and Louisiana coasts. Potential devastating winds and storm surges may impact the cities and people of these Gulf Coast regions.
Children's Hunger Fund has begun preparations to transport food and resources to our ministry partners in the Houston area. Seven distribution hubs have been established to assist with disaster relief.

About Children's Hunger Fund
Founded by Dave Phillips in 1991, Children's Hunger Fund has served the needs of children through gospel-centered mercy ministry for more than twenty-eight years. Since 1991, 96% of all donations have directly supported programs that serve suffering children and families. The charity has distribution centers in Dallas, San Antonio, and at its headquarters in Los Angeles. At each center, bulk food is packed by volunteers into "Food Paks" (a 20-pound box of nutritious food). Food Paks are distributed to millions of children and families in need throughout the U.S. and worldwide through a unique process, utilizing a Mercy Network of pastors and local churches who deliver the Food Paks into the homes of families in each region that is served.
