Convoy of Hope Dedicates New Global Headquarters
Convoy of Hope recently dedicated its new 200,000-square-foot Global Headquarters and Training Center.
Convoy of Hope held an official dedication for its new Global Headquarters & Training Center on Thursday. Along with Convoy’s World Distribution Center, the new building sits on 240 acres just west of Springfield, Missouri, and consolidates Convoy’s three former Springfield-area locations into one."Today, we look back over these 30 years with gratitude for all that God has done,” said Convoy of Hope President Hal Donaldson. “But we believe that the best is yet to come. It’s only the beginning.”
The ceremony was attended by Missouri Gov. Mike Parson, among other local, state, and global dignitaries.
"The outreach they have is second to none in what they are doing to change lives around the world,” Parson said of Convoy. “It is an honor as the 57th governor to support this venture and do everything I can to help.”
The recently completed Global Headquarters & Training Center is 200,000 square feet consisting of three floors that houses Convoy’s U.S.-based team members. The building includes an atrium, office spaces, an auditorium, and 40,000 square feet of space for future expansion.
Through fundraising efforts aimed specifically at the building campaign, no general fund dollars were spent on either the Global Headquarters & Training Center or World Distribution Center.
Convoy of Hope employs more than 500 people, most of whom work out of the Springfield-based offices. In 2021, Convoy distributed more than 117 million pounds of food, water, and supplies to people in need.
