Recently more than 2,000 honored guests received free groceries, medical screenings and vaccines, job placement assistance, haircuts, family portraits and prayer from caring volunteers at the third annual Convoy of Hope outreach in Roswell, Ga.
“I lost my job 18 months ago,” says Martin, a guest from Roswell. “Money is tight and we’re almost without hope. After seeing my kids with new hair cuts, getting vaccines and I have a job application in hand; I am feeling a new hope.”

Martin could have been speaking for many of those in attendance.
“I don’t want anyone’s leftovers or handouts,” says Krystelle, also from Roswell. “I just need someone who can believe in me.”
She pauses and points to the area where members from local churches offered to pray for guests. “I know now that God cares,” she says. “He got me these groceries.”

According to Dan Clark, outreach director, Convoy of Hope aims to create a movement that compels people to compassion. “We saw that happen in Roswell,” he says.
This year, at Convoy of Hope’s community outreaches across America, tens of thousands of volunteers will engage in a compassionate response to the needs of their neighbors.
