Dear Friend,
As the one-year anniversary of Hurricane Helene approaches, Convoy of Hope remains active in the area, helping communities rebuild and providing hope to those in need.
This spring, Convoy started sending Field Teams to help long-term recovery efforts. Recently, in partnership with the Asheville Dream Center, a team helped rebuild a home for a couple who lost theirs in the storm. While in Asheville, the team also helped pack over 4,000 bags of groceries for Convoy's Children's Summer Feeding program. These groceries ensured kids were fed, even while they were out of school. Fellowship Asheville, another Convoy partner, runs a food pantry where families can stock up on kid-friendly food for the weekend.
In August, Community Events were held in Swannanoa and Asheville, NC. These areas were at 'ground zero' of the flooding that took place during Hurricane Helene. Together, the Community Events welcomed 1,400 guests who received free groceries, new children's shoes, and access to vital community services.
