Convoy of Hope on Extreme Makeover: Home Edition

As we begin making preparations for Hagerstown Convoy of Hope 2012, I'd like to encourage you to check at what's happening both globally and nationally through Convoy.

Check out this edition of Extreme Makeover to see how they're working together.


Now a word from Hal (President of Convoy of Hope),

Dear [Sponsors],

Last May, after an EF-5 tornado carved a deadly swath through Joplin, Mo., Convoy of Hope rushed aid to the devastated community, which is only an hour’s drive from our world distribution center in Springfield.

In the following days, weeks and months we distributed more than 2.6 million pounds of food, water and emergency supplies. Convoy of Hope work teams also logged hundreds — if not thousands — of hours helping the community recover. To this day, we still have teams on the ground bringing hope to families in need.

None of this work would be possible without you! We’re so grateful for the thousands of individuals, families, organizations, churches and businesses who trusted us to help Joplin.

I believe that surge of support was one of the main reasons Convoy of Hope caught the attention of the national media — in particular ABC’s Extreme Makeover: Home Edition.

This coming Friday night (January 13), we will be featured on the 200th episode of EM:HE focused on rebuilding Joplin, and I will share some exciting news with viewers about our continued work there.

Please tune in to ABC this coming Friday night at 8/7 central.

Thank you for making a difference for families in Joplin and throughout the world!

Hal Donaldson
President
