Convoy of Hope continues to expand its relief efforts in Joplin, Mo., distributing tens of thousands of pounds of food, water and supplies in devastated neighborhoods.
“The outpouring of support has been phenomenal,” says Hal Donaldson, president of Convoy of Hope. “Corporations, individuals, churches and civic organizations have joined the effort to help victims of this disaster.”
Springfield-based Bass Pro Shops provided Convoy of Hope with food, camp stoves, lanterns, tents, cots, propane, blankets and water. T-Mobile donated free call stations, which will enable survivors to contact friends and family members. The St. Louis and Springfield Cardinals have also pledged $25,000 for the relief effort.

“We want to thank all the corporations that are donating truckloads of supplies and everyone making financial contributions,” says Donaldson. “That is what is keeping our semi-trucks rolling and ensuring that the people of Joplin receive the help they need to get through this traumatic episode.”
“Because our distribution center is a short distance from the disaster, we intend to be in Joplin for a long time to come,” says Donaldson.
