WHO WE ARE
In 1971, Dr. Larry Ward dreamed of a world without hunger and disease, inspiring the creation of Food for the Hungry International (FHI). In 1989, Korea Food for the Hungry International (KFHI) was founded to support this mission. Later in 2002, Korean American Food for the Hungry International (KAFHI) was started to help Korean communities in the Americas.
