SPRINGFIELD, MO. - Hurricane Sally was the fourth hurricane to make landfall in the U.S. in 2020 — a record that hasn’t been broken in 16 years. Amid a global pandemic, those living along the Gulf Coast now have to navigate severe flooding and storm-related damage.
Convoy of Hope deployed a Disaster Services team to Alabama with relief supplies to help those suffering from the storm. Local church partners will be distributing supplies to affected residents. Distributions will take place as soon as they are set up.

SPRINGFIELD, MO. - Hurricane Sally made landfall in Alabama early this morning as a Category 2 storm. Although the rating has since dropped to Category 1, Sally is slow-moving and still has the potential to cause “catastrophic and life-threatening flooding” according to the National Hurricane Center.
Convoy of Hope has already been in touch with partners in Alabama and Florida. Our team is poised and ready to respond, even in the midst of helping those suffering from Hurricane Laura, the raging West Coast Fires, and the global COVID-19 pandemic.
