Surprise organizations unite to help residents in need

Radiant Church, Convoy of Hope, city of Surprise providing essential goods

Radiant Community Services, 15522 W. Paradise Lane, Surprise, is partnering with Convoy of Hope and the city of Surprise to distribute food, water and essential goods for individuals and families in need during the Corona-virus pandemic.

“The need is great in this time of crisis,” Radiant Community Services CEO and lead pastor at Radiant Church Greg Marquart stated in a news release. “People are losing jobs and hope. The last seven years, Radiant Church has been giving that hope to literally thousands of lives. So it is only natural for us to respond. Together, with one of FEMA’s major partners, Convoy of Hope, we can make a difference in the lives of the people of Surprise and other surrounding cities and areas.”

Convoy of Hope, a faith-based, disaster relief organization, has had a long-term relationship with Radiant Community Services, also a faith-based organization and an extension of Radiant Church whose three campuses have almost 3,000 attendees.

The distribution site will be open beginning Monday, March 30 on the Surprise campus of Radiant Church. It will be open 9 a.m.-noon Monday through Thursday, for individuals and families in need, and will be done in a drive-through fashion.

Everyone can stay in their cars, and volunteers will load the car with needed supplies to maintain social distancing guidelines.

The distribution supplies will include paper products, diapers, water, canned goods, cereals and more.

This distribution will be for those in need and not to stockpile. So if someone has no food or very little food, this would be a great help to those individuals or families.

In addition, the church is a donation site for the city of Surprise. Any individuals or businesses are welcome to make a financial donation, drop off food, resources or goods.

The church office hours for the Surprise Campus are 9 a.m.-4 p.m. Monday through Thursday.
