This weekend marked our FIRST official packing event at our Regional Distribution Center in Sacramento! 👏📦 Our long-time partners from Harvest Church packed hundreds of baby care kits and thousands of grocery items that will be distributed through Convoy of Hope’s many responses. We’re excited for all the events that will happen at this strategic campus! #distributioncenter #convoyofhope #volunteers #giveback

About us
Convoy of Hope is a faith-based, nonprofit organization with a driving passion to feed the world through children’s feeding initiatives, community outreaches and disaster response. As a faith-based, international, humanitarian-relief organization strategically based in Springfield, Missouri — the crossroads of America — our goal is to bring help and hope to those who are impoverished, hungry and hurting. Convoy of Hope was founded in 1994 by the Donaldson family. Their inspiration for starting the organization can be traced back to the many people who helped their family after their father, Harold, was killed by a drunk driver in 1969. Today, more than 70 million people have been served throughout the world by Convoy of Hope. We are proud that we work through churches, businesses, government agencies and other nonprofits to provide help and hope to those who are impoverished, hungry and hurting.

A lot goes on at Convoy of Hope before our trucks leave the World Distribution Center to respond to disasters! 🚚👇 Team members across the organization participated in a tabletop exercise with our Disaster Services team to work through disaster scenarios, from the expected (monitoring the storm's path, communicating between departments, handling transportation logistics) to the unexpected (storms changing course, problems traveling certain routes). A consultant with over 30 years of disaster experience was there to speak into how we can continue to strengthen our processes and communicate effectively. “These drills bring all of our team members together — every step matters and so much of our organization makes it happen,” said Ethan Forhetz, Convoy’s national spokesperson, who attended. #disasterresponse #preparedness #training #deliveringhope

🚨Wildfires are raging in the western U.S. — including #California and #Idaho — and Convoy of Hope is en route to both areas with necessary supplies.🚨 California's Park Fire has burned more than 368,000 acres, with only 15% contained. The Gwen Fire in Idaho is at 0% containment, destroying nearly 29,000 acres thus far. The strategic position of Convoy's Regional Distribution Center in California will allow our team to quickly get help to families in need.
