Christian Foundation for Children and Aging (CFCA)
''Unbound, formerly the Christian Foundation for Children and Aging (CFCA) is a nonprofit sponsorship organization headquartered in Kansas City, Kansas. Unbound was founded by lay Catholic workers acting on the Gospel call to serve the poor. Its Hope for a Family sponsorship program provides basic necessities such as food, education, clothing and access to medical care to children and elderly in some of the world's poorest communities. Today, Unbound sponsors support more than 300,000 children, youth and aging persons in 21 〔Unbound website, www.unbound.org.〕 countries.〔Shahriari, Sarah.

==History==
On November 20, 1981, Unbound was founded by siblings Bob Hentzen, Bud Hentzen, Jim Hentzen, Nadine Pearce and their friend Jerry Tolle. The siblings wanted to start a nonprofit to honor their late parents. Bob and Jerry were both missionaries who had witnessed firsthand the effects of poverty in developing countries, so they formed a sponsorship organization based on Catholic social teaching.
Unbound’s first headquarters was in Bob’s basement in Kansas City, Mo. Around 1982, the foundation relocated its office to a farmhouse. In 1991, Unbound converted an abandoned warehouse into the office that remains the current headquarters.
Over the years, more than 625,000 children, youth and aging persons and their families have been served through the sponsorship program. Currently there are more than 300,000 sponsored children and aging persons.
