Convoy of Hope disaster responders in Japan worked alongside 50 local volunteers to unload and begin distributing a large shipment of food, water and hygiene items.
“There was a lot of joy on the faces of the volunteers helping today”, says Jeff Nene, public relations officer for Convoy of Hope. “They are excited to have the opportunity to help distribute thousands of pounds of food and supplies to people in need.”

While in Japan, Convoy of Hope disaster responders will travel to a displaced persons camp on the western side of the country and also to the hardest hit areas in the north to assess and supply the most critical needs.
In addition to shipping emergency relief items into the country, Convoy of Hope has purchased local supplies for distribution whenever possible. These in-country purchases will aid Japan’s economic recovery in the wake of this disaster.
