Last Call for Convoy of Hope

This is my last announcement about this Saturday’s Convoy of Hope, hosted by our friends at Safehouse Outreach.  In the words of my buddy, Safehouse director Philip Bray:

 

SafeHouse Outreach has partnered with several Atlanta churches and ministries to host the Atlanta Convoy of Hope, Saturday, August 9th, at the Blue Lot across Northside Drive from the Georgia World Congress Center. Convoy of Hope is a nonprofit organization that provides resources to organizations and churches to meet physical and spiritual needs for the purpose of making the community a better place. The goal of the Convoy of Hope outreach is to reach out to children and families by meeting some of their most basic needs. More than 80,000 pounds of free groceries will be distributed along with free health screenings, job fairs, haircuts, games and activities for children, and live entertainment.   The expectation is that this event will draw a crowd of 10k-15k guests.  Approximately one thousand volunteers from over 150 churches,  local businesses, and community organizations wilcompassion to make a difference in the city. 

 

Will you be there to volunteer?  Volunteers are needed starting at about 7:30am; we’ll wrap up at about 2pm.  Click here to contact us for more info, or to find out how to join up with the ONE Atlanta contingent that will be volunteering.  (Click image below for site map.)
