Convoy of Hope

Earthquakes, floods, hurricanes, fires… It feels like every week there’s another catastrophe. And although these kinds of disasters are often unpredictable, there’s one thing we can absolutely count on – that, during times of crisis, organizations like Convoy of Hope will respond with food, water, hygiene kits, and other essential relief supplies.

Convoy uses a network of global churches to provide help and hope where it’s needed most. And, best of all, they understand where true hope – living hope – comes from, and are working to ensure the people they help know that, too.

Already this year, Convoy of Hope has responded to more than 65 disasters and humanitarian crises, many which never even hit the news cycle.

You can learn more and support Convoy’s work at convoy.org/carey.
