Convoy of Hope responded quickly to Picayune's needs following Hurricane Katrina, but weren't quick enough to respond to a request from Secretary of State Eric Clark to register as a charitable organization.
Convoy of Hope, based in Springfield, Mo., set up and distributed survival supplies such as ice, water, food, diapers and infant formula the afternoon after Hurricane Katrina's landfall. The next morning, they busily distributed these items to area residents. Yet, there was a gap in communication between this 501- C (3) nonprofit organization with Clark's office."
