![Convoy of Hope was invited to take part in an outreach Friday in Uvalde, Texas — the site of an unthinkable shooting in May.
Along with volunteers from Tree City Church, Convoy handed out an entire tractor-trailer’s worth of goods for the hundreds of guests who visited the drive-thru distribution. Those who came received backpacks, food, shoes, hygiene kits, and more to help equip families for the upcoming school year — bringing hope in the process.
“It [Convoy’s participation] gives us the resources that we don’t have,” said Pastor Joe Ruiz, who leads Tree City Church and invited Convoy to participate. “For you guys to come out and be a part of our community, it means a lot. It means there are people out there who do love and do care for people.”
Local parents and staff said the community is still struggling, but this type of outreach lets them know they’re not alone.
Different crises — from Uvalde to Ukraine — have led to creative and unconventional responses from Convoy of Hope this year.
Thank you for what you do to allow Convoy to be a part of events like this one and a community’s healing process. #linkinbio](https://convoyofhope.org/wp-content/plugins/instagram-feed/img/placeholder.png)
