Convoy of hope

What a wonderful experience Jeff and I had last week at Built for Hope: Convoy of Hope’s Global Headquarters & Training Center Dedication in Springfield, Missouri. We were grateful to be included at such an exciting and informative event.

We have partnered with Convoy over the past year and a half to send roughly one million meals to Ukraine to aid in their relief efforts. But Convoy is so much more than that! According to MO Governor Mike Parson, who was in attendance, “Since 1994 Convoy has served over 200 million people with over 2 billion pounds of food and supplies through children’s feeding programs, disaster response, and community events.” Founder Hal Donaldson talked about their feeding programs (in 33 countries around the world!), disaster services (they served 4.5 million people suffering from disasters in 2022), women’s empowerment initiatives (just $300 provides seed capital for one woman to start a business), and sustainable agriculture practices (they’ve trained 80,000 individuals in agriculture and currently have 17 countries with agriculture programming).

Jeff and I were able to not only tour the Global Headquarters & Training Center, but also their World Distribution Center and the first phase of their outdoor Center for Agriculture & Food Security. Please check out their website to learn more (and enjoy our photos below): www.convoyofhope.org
