Convoy of Hope is rushing teams and aid to the South where a massive storm — that spawned dozens of deadly tornadoes — decimated communities and claimed nearly 200 lives in Alabama, Mississippi, Tennessee, Georgia and Virginia on April 27.
Help Convoy of Hope respond to crises in the US and around the world.
“Our hearts go out to families who lost loved ones, homes and businesses,” said Jeff Nene, senior director of public relations. “The storm left a wide swath of devastation and we are working closely with state and county emergency management teams to pinpoint exactly where our teams and aid are needed most.”
Nene says Convoy of Hope is rushing food, water, ice chests and other essentials to the South. That’s welcome news for displaced families whose homes have been destroyed and communities where emergency resources are lacking because infrastructure has been compromised.
“One of Convoy of Hope"s strengths is responding to disasters in the United States and around the world,” adds Nene. “Because of our logistical expertise, partners and strong relationships with government agencies and local organizations we can get help to those who are suffering.”
