Distributions have taken place in 40 communities across six different states in the Southeast and are continuing so #HurricaneHelene survivors can get the supplies they need. In Morganton, North Carolina, more than 65 volunteers bagged over 2,000 bags of groceries to distribute in surrounding communities. Nearly 500 volunteers across the Southeast have mobilized with Convoy to help serve their neighbors. Convoy will continue to provide supplies, support, and hope to people in desperate need — visit convoy.org/helene to help.

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.

As Convoy continues to respond to #HurricaneHelene, the team is also monitoring #HurricaneMilton — a powerful Category 4 storm — as it roars toward Florida's west coast. Debris left by Hurricane Helene could make Milton more dangerous, and this could mark the largest evacuation Florida has seen since 2017. As we continue response to Helene and prepare to respond to Milton, the best way to help is to give to our Disaster Relief Fund, which will go directly to helping those affected.

Convoy has distributed more than 1.1 million pounds of product to tens of thousands of residents across the #Southeast. #Tazewell is a town nestled in Virginia's rolling mountains that was receiving minimal aid and in dire need of water and ready-to-eat-meals. Convoy connected with a local partner to coordinate bringing in supplies and remind these families that they are not forgotten. In other news, #Florida is bracing for Tropical Storm Milton, which is expected to make landfall in the Tampa, Florida, area this week.

Stories of hope during #HurricaneHelene ❤️🩹 In June, Convoy partnered with SpartanNash to pack 15,000 boxes of meals and hygiene kits for families impacted by disasters. These boxes have been pivotal as we respond to Helene. One family of eight who received these boxes of food had been without power, water, and groceries for a week. The Martin County Sheriff’s Office was doing welfare checks in secluded areas of Lafayette County, Florida, when they found several children bathing in a river because they didn’t have running water. After discovering they hadn’t had food or water since Helene blew through the area, the sheriff’s department called Convoy of Hope. In partnership with the sheriff’s department and SpartanNash, Convoy sent ice, coolers, hygiene kits, food boxes, and ready-to-eat meals to the family. We couldn’t do this life-changing work without you — help a family today 👉 h.ope.is/3ZLozGy #helene #northcarolina #florida #tennessee #georgia #encourage
