History

1969 - Founder Hal Donaldson's father was killed in a tragic car crash. Through the kindness of neighbors, Hal and his family managed to make ends meet. The compassion they received would later lay the foundation for Convoy of Hope.

1994 - Meetings with Mother Teresa, and missionaries Mark and Huldah Buntain, inspired Hal Donaldson and a handful of dedicated family and friends to establish Convoy of Hope and host the first outreaches called "Care Days."

1994 - Convoy of Hope more than doubled the number of events held the previous year, and opened its headquarters in Springfield, Missouri.

1997 - A friend donated the first tractor-trailer to Convoy of Hope.

1998 - First U.S. and international disaster responses were conducted.

1999 - Convoy of Hope served its one-millionth person. Operations continued to expand in the U.S. and around the world.
