==Founding==
The organization was founded in California in 1994 to aid in humanitarian relief. It began by serving Mid-America but has now expanded to other areas.〔(Jess Rollins, "Mo. Humanitarian Relief Group Deliver," ''USA Today,'' January 1, 2013 )〕 It moved to Missouri some two years later because of its importance to truck transportation. Donaldson chose Springfield because he and his wife had attended Evangel College there.〔(Bob Watson, "Convoy of Hope Leader Urges Cooperation Among All," ''News-Tribune,'' January 10, 2014 )〕
The convoy had beginnings in a Christian tradition.〔 Hal Donaldson, who later became a journalist and author, said he and his two brothers, Steve and Dave, and a sister founded the organization a quarter century after their father was killed by a drunk driver and their mother was hospitalized. The four, Hal being age 12 at the time, were taken in by neighbors and that response, he said, impelled him to take steps when he grew up to alleviate other people's needs.〔〔〔(Emily Wood, "Convoy of Hope Founder Hal Davidson Shares the Story Behind the Worldwide Charity," KY3 Television, November 26, 2014 )〕
