One of the things that I love about Convoy of Hope is that it does have a neighbor's donation strategy. And so we're involved all across America. One of the big things that we do is we do disaster relief. We have responded to right at 100 disasters already this year. What that looks like, an example would be Asheville, North Carolina, that area responding to Hurricane Helene.
Convoy of Hope has delivered more than 200 semi-loads of relief supplies into that devastated area. The missional footprint of Convoy of Hope reaches around the world. We're currently feeding right at 600,000 children. We do that every school day. We have more than 40,000 women and girls that are in our women's empowerment program. Globally, we're training more than 35,000 farmers.

And so Convoy of Hope does everything from children's feeding to coming alongside rural churches in America and helping people move from poverty to that place of resiliency.
