notes: Food Paks We've found that the most effective way to communicate love to a family is to bring help directly to their homes. At CHF, we give 20 pound boxes full of nutritious foods called Food Paks® which volunteers use as relationship-building tools. This strategy puts love into action and provides ongoing relief and hope for the future. Food Pak® Campaigns Food Pak® Campaigns allow churches and community groups the opportunity to get directly involved in helping needy families. Groups are given empty boxes and a goal to reach. Each member fills a box (or 2) with nutritional food and the boxes are distributed directly into the homes of the children and families that CHF serves. The CHF Food Pak Campaign is an exciting way for your family to get directly involved in helping poor children and families.

They fill Food Paks, package soap and toothbrushes, bag beans and rice and wrap toys in the fast paced adventure that is the CHF workday. By employing volunteer families and groups from schools, churches and other organizations, CHF is able to keep costs low and process donated products quickly. CHF's Volunteer Workdays are every Wednesday and Saturday from 9am-Noon and Thursdays from 10am-Noon (except holiday weekends). Please call ahead and reserve your space. The CHF Volunteer warehouse is usually closed in conjunction with national holidays so our staff can be with their families.
