A ‘Good News Day’ for Four Communities

USA Reported by Convoy of Hope

On Saturday, August 17, our Community Events team was stretched far and wide across the country. With community outreaches in four different states in one day there was four times the excitement and four times the pre-planning, staff, setup, and logistics.

Still, all four events came off with great success. Many local news agencies came out to cover the events. Below is just some of the local news coverage.

Disasters bring barriers to many basic needs, including access to #food. Everyday things are unexpectedly gone — food becomes a critical concern. This is why organizations like ours exist: to respond to disasters with tangible aid and compassion. 🥣👉 http://h.ope.is/3Q4pyvK
