From the Convoy of Hope website: “Our response to Hurricane Matthew continues in Haiti and the U.S. as the death toll rises and flooding continues. More than 1 million meals have been distributed in Haiti and we have shipped more than 150,000 pounds of emergency relief supplies from our World Distribution Center that will arrive in the coming days. Our team that was pre-positioned in Florida prior to Hurricane Matthew worked with local partners in the area immediately after the storm passed to distribute food, water and supplies to affected residents. We are also working with partners in South Carolina to distribute supplies to families in need.”

About Convoy Of Hope
From their website:
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.
We do this by:
Engaging
Each year — in dozens of communities throughout the nation — guests of honor receive free groceries, health and dental screenings, haircuts, family portraits, hot meals, job-placement assistance and much more at our signature events.
Caring
We partner, resource and empower rural churches through training, mentoring and coaching so they can enhance their presence in their communities. The strategy works best when church leaders partner with community leaders and stakeholders.
Nourishing
Nearly 150,000 children in 10 nations are being fed nutritious meals by us. The food opens doors for education, clean water, a sense of hope and much more. Currently, we are feeding children in the Philippines, El Salvador, Nicaragua, Honduras, Haiti, Kenya, Ethiopia, Guatemala, South Africa and Tanzania.
Growing
Impoverished farmers and families are equipped with the skills, tools and seeds to produce life-sustaining crops through the agricultural work we conduct throughout the world. Each year, tens of thousands of meals are harvested for our children’s feeding work and income is generated for farmers.
Responding
Consistently among the first to respond to disasters throughout the world. We are highly regarded for our scalable distribution model, Disaster Response teams, six international warehouses and Mobile Command Center.
Partnering
We empower like-minded organizations, who are doing good work among the poor and suffering in their communities. This is accomplished by providing such friends with food, water, supplies and much more.
