Convoy of Hope Plans Haiti Food Warehouse
Convoy of Hope is breaking ground on a 35,000-square-foot warehouse just outside of Port-au-Prince, Haiti early this year. Once completed, the warehouse will have the capacity to hold up to 6 million meals.
“The site is prepared and I expect construction of the prefabricated steel building will progress quickly once begun,” says Kevin Rose, International Programs Director for Convoy of Hope. “I am optimistic we will be utilizing the building by early summer.”
Hal Donaldson, president of Convoy of Hope says, “The warehouse will allow us to continue to expand our rapidly-growing feeding initiative in Haiti’s schools and orphanages.” Convoy of Hope’s goal is to provide a nutritious daily meal to 40,000 school children in Haiti this year.
Convoy of Hope is a non-profit organization that has served more than 37 million people around the world since 1994 through international children’s feeding initiatives, community outreaches, disaster response and partner resourcing. Every day Convoy of Hope feeds more than 49,000 children in El Salvador, Haiti, Kenya, Nicaragua and the Philippines.
