| Stambaugh Ness Business Solutions' own Chip Hayden and Ken Saxe joined 675 other volunteers from 30 churches on Saturday, July 19 for York's Convoy of Hope. The event was held at Penn Park in York City. More than 3,000 residents received free groceries, health services, haircuts, games and activities for children, job placement assistance, and more. Guests also received the opportunity to pray and be put in touch with local churches for additional services.
Convoy of Hope mobilizes resources, and trains churches and other groups to conduct community outreaches, respond to disasters, and direct other compassion initiatives in the United States and around the world.
The U.S. Outreach department at Convoy of Hope plans over 50 outreaches each year in communities across the country. An outreach is a one-day special community event designed to meet both human and spiritual needs of impoverished families.
On average the event partners Convoy of Hope with 1,000 local volunteers to serve anywhere from 3,000 – 5,000 guests. Outreaches give hope by providing free groceries, health and dental screenings, free haircuts, games and activities for children of all ages. Connections are established through job fairs, churches, government agencies, and community service organizations.
To date more than 21,781,717 people have been served by Convoy of Hope's efforts.
Stambaugh Ness employees participate in other community service organizations. You may see a partial list of these organizations on our website.
