WEST COAST RDC EXPANDS CONVOY OF HOPE CAPACITY

Convoy of Hope is opening a Regional Distribution Center (RDC) in Sacramento, California. RDC West will encompass 70,000 square feet with the capacity to hold 7,000 pallets of resources. The center will begin operation in July and will have an official ribbon-cutting ceremony on September 21.

From this strategic location near ports like Oakland, San Francisco, and Los Angeles, Convoy will be able to send resources to Southeast Asia and the Pacific region. (See FYI, p. 26.)

“The new distribution center will enable Convoy to meet needs all over the West Coast and respond to disasters more rapidly,” says Vice President and West Coast Leader Kirk Noonan.

Convoy plans to open RDC locations across the U.S. over the next five years. Potential sites include Atlanta, Dallas, Chicago, and Puerto Rico. Each RDC will increase Convoy’s ability to mobilize quickly, procure additional resources, transport goods more effectively, and equip local partners.
