It’s Back to School for Springfield Public Schools
Last weekend, Convoy of Hope participated in Springfield Public Schools’ Back to School Bash. Nearly 4,500 people came to receive supplies for the new school year. 6,000 backpacks were distributed to ensure every student in need received a bag.
Two of Convoy’s partners — Bombas Socks and Plum Organics — provided students and families with socks and groceries. Students not only received backpacks, but left with them filled to the brim with supplies and food.
Incredible Pizza & Convoy of Hope Give Back in San Antonio
Last week, Convoy of Hope partnered with Incredible Pizza Company to supply groceries, haircuts, and family portraits to residents of San Antonio, Texas. The employees of Incredible Pizza’s Springfield, Missouri, location volunteered at Hands of Hope to pack bags of groceries at Convoy’s World Distribution Center. The goods were then packed on a Convoy truck and sent to Incredible Pizza’s San Antonio location to be distributed.
More than 500 people came to the event and received groceries and services to lift a burden off of their shoulders during the back-to-school season.
