About this facility

Mission
Convoy of Hope exists to feed millions of people in need in the United States and around the world through children’s nutrition initiatives, citywide outreaches and disaster response. ----------------------- Since Convoy of Hope, a 501(c)3 nonprofit organization, was founded in 1994 we have served more than 35 million people throughout the world through international children’s feeding initiatives, community outreaches, disaster response and partner resourcing. Every day, we feed more than 21,000 children in El Salvador, Haiti, Kenya, Nicaragua and the Philippines. In doing so, we also provide good nutrition, clean and safe drinking water, instruction on agricultural techniques, healthy living environments and education.

Year after year, we are lauded for our effectiveness and efficiency in mobilizing tens of thousands of volunteers for community outreaches and during times of disaster response. No matter what we are doing, our objective is to always deliver much-needed food, supplies and hope to the impoverished and suffering.

Date: 23 Mar 2011

A Convoy of Hope disaster response team is headed to Tokyo. They will continue the work of an initial team of responders, which was temporarily based in the Philippines and shipped to Japan enough food, water and relief supplies to fill a 40-foot-long container.

While in Japan, the team's primary goals will be to work through port logistics, ensure current channels are in working order and Convoy of Hope's footprint in Japan is expanded.

Help Convoy of Hope help Japan.

"Since the earthquake and tsunami we have been able to provide food and supplies, through our in-country partners, to meet people's needs," says Kary Kingsland, senior vice president of Global Initiatives for Convoy of Hope. "We will continue meeting needs and are dedicated to finding the most efficient ways to help many more survivors now and in the coming weeks and months."

Convoy of Hope's medical advisor, whose knowledge base will be a valuable asset to the team and the treatment of Japanese nationals, will accompany the team headed for Japan.

FROM THE SITE 3/12/11:

If the tsunami causes major devastation on the West Coast, Convoy of Hope will deploy teams and supplies to devastated areas.

Ron Showers, director of Global Outreach, is in Honolulu making preparations for an upcoming community outreach. Last night he left his hotel and moved to higher ground after tsunami sirens started to sound.

“Thousands of people fled the low-lying areas,” he says. “Gas stations were packed with people trying to get fuel, many locals and tourists fled to high ground and sought shelter in hospitals and high school gyms.”

Showers will monitor the situation in Hawaii after the tsunami hits.

According to Kingsland, the Disaster Response team will closely monitor further developments and move forward with plans to help the victims of the disasters.

Convoy of Hope is not seeking volunteers at this time.
