Convoy of Hope is a faith-based humanitarian organization dedicated to transforming lives in the U.S. and around the world. With a focus on ending generational poverty, Convoy runs impactful programs including children’s feeding initiatives, women’s empowerment efforts, and sustainable agriculture development.
Beyond these core programs, Convoy of Hope is a critical first responder when disaster strikes. With a specialized fleet of vehicles and a trained response team, they deliver essential relief supplies to communities hit by natural and humanitarian crises. In 2024 alone, Convoy responded to 99 disasters both domestically and internationally.
What sets Convoy’s Disaster Response team apart is their innovative model for serving survivors—something we’ll explore in more detail during the MOVE USA Tech Talk.
