Convoy of Hope’s disaster relief outreach has the skills - and a wide local church network - capable of getting help to hurting people fast.
As Tennessee residents look toward recovery from severe storms and tornadoes, help is coming from our ministry partner Convoy of Hope working in tandem with local churches.
Six people lost their lives in the storms, and dozens more were injured. Damage is extensive.
“It's really painful to watch, especially at Christmas season,” Tennessee Gov. Bill Lee told reporters after touring the damage. “But again, there's a great wave of hope when you watch Tennesseans come alongside.”
So far, Convoy of Hope has served over 1,000 residents of Clarksville, and with help arriving in Hendersonville, Madison, and Gallatin.
Convoy is supplying food, water, hygiene items, totes, and tarps throughout these cities. Their Disaster Services teams were on the ground less than 12 hours after the tornadoes hit and have been distributing relief supplies since.
And residents are showing outstanding love and concern making a difference for their neighbors. Image below: Caring neighbor Andrea Remberger returns a lost dog to its owner in Clarksville, Tenn.
