The name is that of a legitimate charity, but calls from this number are NOT affiliated with International Children's Network. Just spoke directly with ICN. A home delivery food company has been using their name to get people to talk to them. There have been a number of complaints and they've been trying to stop the calls.
Called the number back, it's listed in Orchards/ Vancouver, WA. A woman answered with "Hello", obviously at home, with a loud TV and children playing in the background. I asked who had called me, she said they were calling for International Children's Network and were collecting money for children in need via matching $ on shopping programs, then asked where I grocery shop and how many in my household. Told her and she said that they were "actually selling meat" and the minimum sale was for a family of four, so I didn't "qualify". The whole thing sounded bizarre. Asked her to take my number off the calling list and she said she would but apparently didn't, they called back again, which is when I called ICN.
ICN is a fairly new charity which sponsors children, they're on the web at:
