Convoy of Hope

When news cycles move on, Convoy of Hope is still on the ground in disaster zones, serving communities in need. ???? For those in North Carolina, which was hit especially hard by #HurricaneHelene, many are without power, entire communities are washed away, and they are vulnerable for the winter ahead. In cooperation with the Spruce Pine Fire Department, Convoy has delivered generators for the elderly and those who do not have access to shelters. Drive-thru distributions are still underway. Also, Convoy has served families through mobile distributions — in?Morganton, North Carolina, volunteers from local churches?drove to mountainside locations?to get supplies to families in need. “I thank God for Convoy of Hope because you were the first organization we saw on that Monday [after the storm],” said Pastor John White.

Last night, #HurricaneMilton made landfall as a Category 3 hurricane in Siesta Key, sparing Tampa the direct hit. Milton brought treacherous sustained winds of 120 mph and 8 to 10 feet of storm surge in Sarasota County. But Convoy is on the ground in Florida prepared with supplies. Volunteers from the Perry, Florida, community packed more than 3,000 bags of groceries, and additional vehicles were deployed a few days prior from Convoy's World Distribution Center to be ready for distributions. Convoy is there to help ensure those impacted have what they need to begin recovering from these disastrous storms.

The Tampa Bay area is a ghost town as Floridians quickly evacuate or hunker down ahead of #HurricaneMilton's landfall this evening. Tampa, home to 3 million people, has not been directly hit by a hurricane in over 100 years. Milton, currently a Category 4 storm, is likely to strike Fort Myers, which was hit back in 2022 by Hurricane Ian, along with the FLorida Keys and Miami-Dade county. Convoy team members are on the ground ready with pre-positioned team members and supplies.

Hope during #HurricaneHelene:?When Convoy responds to a disaster, we get the unique opportunity to see communities come together and help each other. Last week, Convoy partnered with a church, high school, and police department in Vidalia, Georgia, to serve hundreds of Hurricane Helene survivors at a drive-thru distribution. More than 70 volunteers from the community — including sports teams, police, and the mayor — came together to serve others. “You guys met a tremendous need,” said Pastor Joe Gabbard. “It was a huge blessing to our community.” Read more ?? https://h.ope.is/3YjzINO #helene #milton #recovery?#florida #northcarolina #georgia #tennessee #virginia
