Since our founding in 1994, Convoy of Hope has served more than 350 million people around the world. 🌎 Our secret ingredient is your partnership, which allows us to stay long after the initial response to make lasting change.

One story comes from a rural village in Madagascar, where Convoy team members asked to start a feeding program in a community facing malnutrition.

"We've had others come before," the village chief said. "They always promise to help — but they never come back."

That changed with our partnership. Today, more than 7,000 children are being fed across Madagascar, including children from that village.

Thank you for being on the front lines with us. ♥️

"I was hungry in my body and in my mind. And people like Convoy of Hope came along and fed me.” 🥣

As a child, Chege faced deep loss and hardship, including the loss of his mother. But through Convoy's Children’s Feeding program in Kenya, he received more than meals — he found the energy and encouragement to keep going.

Chege pursued his education and graduated from college. Today, he’s returned to where his story began, tutoring students at the same school.

Chege is continuing the impact that once changed his life.

Partnerships make feeding possible in El Salvador. 🥣

Our friends at @MftH recently toured the Convoy of Hope feeding center where their meals are being served as part of our programming.

“Seeing our meals in action in El Salvador was eye-opening and reinforced how important our mission is to helping children and families take the next step toward a healthier and brighter future,” said Dani Rieck, marketing manager at Meals from the Heartland.

Hope really does happen when consistent meals come into play!

As the school year winds down and summer quickly approaches, many families face a difficult reality: They will lose access to the free or reduced-cost meals that they depend on.

Convoy of Hope’s Summer Children’s Feeding Program helps bridge that gap by providing meals, support, and hope to kids during summer break.

Your continued partnership helps support families in the United States who would otherwise go hungry when school’s out.

Would you partner with us to provide food for families this summer? Visit our bio to learn more.

Benjamin knows what it means to work hard. From helping his family at home to staying committed in school, he wakes up every day with determination and focus.💪

But like so many children around the world, his ability to grow is directly connected to a fundamental need: nutritious meals.🥣

Through Children’s Feeding, kids like Benjamin are receiving the nourishment they need to stay healthy, concentrate in class, and pursue the dreams in front of them. Because when a child is fed, they’re not just supported for today — they’re empowered for the future.

When we equip communities to serve their neighbors, it reaches the very heart of poverty — bringing solutions that last. ♥️

Poverty and hunger affect not just the world's largest cities, but also its smallest towns. Convoy of Hope has worked in communities like Woodstock, Alabama, to combat poverty and hunger.

With the help of training, support, and resources, people like Pastor Chad Payne are providing hope and a future for neighbors in need.

Families helping families around the world 🌎📦

At a recent event in Las Vegas, volunteers from The Crossing Church put together 10,000 family hygiene kits! It marks our largest family hygiene kit packing event to date. Volunteers of all ages practiced radical generosity and packed kits that will be crucial in our response to disasters.

"These are the essentials that you would need in your very worst day ... if you lost everything," said The Crossing Church's Amber Benavente.

We know this goes well beyond providing practical care — it shows survivors that they are seen and they matter. ♥️

Convoy of Hope is supplying small towns with the resources they need to serve their communities. Food pantries are being filled, unhoused people are being served in both street outreaches and homeless shelters, veterans in nursing homes are receiving brand-new socks, and families are being reunited.❤️

This month, Convoy is featuring our U.S. Program to highlight all we're doing across the United States. To learn more, read about everything we’re doing here:

Many women in Convoy of Hope's Women's Empowerment programs become community leaders. ♥️

Five friends trained in our Women’s Empowerment program at a church in Nicaragua — Andria, Ana, Nohemi, Belkis, and another Ana. Now working together to farm corn, they are feeding their families as well as local children in a Convoy feeding program.

When you help us empower a woman, you raise up leaders who will impact others. Learn more: https://t.co/tS3AU1qG9b

Food security is changing kids' lives! 🥣♥️

Convoy of Hope is currently feeding 677,000 children around the globe every school day. On top of that, last year our team distributed 150,000 meals across the U.S. through our Children's Summer Feeding initiative, and we are already underway to distribute more this year.

Because meals not only bring security and new opportunity — they also bring smiles back. 😊

Disaster roundup 🚨🚚 Convoy of Hope is responding around the world, meeting communities on their hardest days.

Convoy has been responding to flooding in Michigan and Wisconsin, a tornado in Oklahoma, and the wildfires across South Georgia. Team members have been on the ground, bringing essential supplies to help affected communities — and in Georgia, we’re also bringing relief to first responders on the front lines.

We are also responding in Saipan in the wake of Super Typhoon Sinlaku, which caused widespread damage — our team is providing supplies and supporting cleanup efforts as recovery is underway. We also continue to support Jamaica through relief supplies in underserved communities still recovering from Hurricane Melissa.

Our partners are top-tier, and so are our volunteers!

Convoy of Hope recently partnered with @MftH and 200 volunteers to pack meals that will be distributed through Convoy's programs around the world.

These meals contain vital nutrients that each program country will customize to their culture's specific needs, ensuring participants receive food they enjoy.

We're want to express our thanks to the many friends who made this event possible!

Without clean water, life is a deep struggle.💧

In Tanzania, about 4 million people lack access to clean water. This is a fraction of the 2.3 billion people living in water-stressed countries today. To address this global issue, Convoy of Hope has implemented water interventions in program countries like Tanzania.

Now using a water well Convoy drilled, people like Yusuph have access to clean water. ‘’I am happy now. I can walk a short distance to fetch water for daily-use activities in my household. I have enough time to do other economic activities for household income.'

Convoy of Hope’s Agriculture program offers schools around the world the opportunity to grow a small-plot garden where students can learn agriculture skills and enjoy the food they produce.🌱

Women like Patricia are finding purpose. ♥️🌱

When her husband left and her daughter moved away, Patricia found herself alone, wrestling with loss. Her husband told her she wouldn't be able to make it without him.

"That made me feel hopeless, weak, and not brave enough," she said.

But in the middle of that darkness, Patricia found healing while engaging in Convoy of Hope's Women's Empowerment training. There, she learned practical skills in agriculture and even began investing in a school garden alongside other women in her community.

"Now I feel free. I'm happy, and my life has truly changed," Patricia said.

Your support not only gives women practical training, but the opportunity to find their worth.
