In January, Convoy of Hope’s new 36,000-square-foot warehouse just outside Port-au-Prince, Haiti was dedicated.

“This warehouse is a symbol of hope and provision for the people of Haiti,” says Hal Donaldson, president of Convoy of Hope. “It will also allow us to continue expanding our children’s feeding initiatives in Haiti and in the Caribbean.”

Four years ago Convoy of Hope obtained a small warehouse and started feeding children in Haiti. The program saw the enrollment of 6,000 children in the program. Today, more than 54,000 children are fed each school day throughout the country.

“The new warehouse allows us to streamline our operations so that we can serve even more children in the future and expand other programs such as our agricultural initiatives,” says Kevin Rose, director of Convoy of Hope’s Children Feeding Initiatives. 

According to Rose, the vision for the warehouse was put on the fast track shortly after the massive 7.0 earthquake struck in 2010.

“We saw an opportunity to help the country recover from the earthquake by helping its children,” he says. “Our friends throughout the world rallied around this strategy by giving sacrificially. Today, tens of thousand of children now have access to food and have hope for tomorrow.”
