USA: New Jersey megachurch distributes 26,000 pounds of relief supplies
A New Jersey-based multisite megachurch is distributing approximately 26,000 pounds of relief supplies including food, toilet paper, and hygiene kits on Easter weekend. Liquid Church is working with Convoy of Hope to distribute the supplies, which are being organised into emergency relief kits that are wrapped in Easter baskets or boxes.
On Saturday morning, the kits were picked up by those who registered at the church’s website by filling out an “Emergency Relief Request”. Then on Easter Sunday, some 40 church volunteer drivers distributed the baskets to senior citizens and other families in quarantine.
In addition to the aforementioned supplies, other items in the relief kits include bottled water, bleach, diapers, paper towels, and wipes.
Liquid Church Outreach Director Kristin Hosen told The Christian Post that they had been talking with Convoy of Hope for about a year about how to “serve those on the fringes of our community.”
“When we saw how COVID-19 was starting to impact our State, we knew Convoy of Hope would be an incredible partner (…) They responded with essential relief supplies that would support our community during the pandemic. We are one of many organisations in New Jersey that Convoy of Hope has partnered with to help those most affected by this pandemic.” Hosen explained.
