About Convoy of Hope: Convoy of Hope mobilizes, resources, and trains churches and other groups to conduct community outreaches, respond to disasters, and direct other compassion initiatives in the United States and around the world.

The U.S. Outreach department at Convoy of Hope plans over 50 outreaches each year in communities across the country. An outreach is a one-day special community event designed to meet both human and spiritual needs of impoverished families.

On average the event partners Convoy of Hope with 1,000 local volunteers to serve anywhere from 3,000 – 5,000 guests. Outreaches give hope by providing free groceries, health and dental screenings, free haircuts, games and activities for children of all ages. Connections are established through job fairs, churches, government agencies, and community service organizations.
