Oct. 14, 2009 - PRLog -- WINCHESTER, Va.  – The Evangelical Council for Financial Accountability (ECFA) announced today the accreditation of Food for Orphans of Colorado Springs, CO.

ECFA accreditation is based on the ECFA Seven Standards of Responsible Stewardship™, including financial accountability, transparency, sound board governance and ethical fund-raising.

Food for Orphans joins a growing number of churches and evangelical organizations across America, supported by over 35 million donors that have earned the right to display the ECFA seal.  When an organization is accredited by ECFA, it demonstrates its willingness to follow the model of biblical accountability.

“We are pleased to include in our membership a ministry committed to feeding orphans around the world,” said Dan Busby, president of ECFA.

Founded in 2007, Food for Orphans (www.foodfororphans.org) feeds orphans by providing the funds to purchase food and by shipping large containers of food to the projects with the goal of providing at least one nutritious meal per day to every orphan.  Food for Orphans also trains the orphan caregivers on diet and nutrition.
