"Just to watch all the people that have come from across our country, linemen from all over America here to help us get power back, those that are getting gas stations refilled, people are working tirelessly," Pastor Matt Blair, Radiant Church’s Heights location Pastor, said. "We just are glad to be a small part of the big thing everyone's doing to help Tampa Bay get back. And we're honored just to serve alongside so many incredible men and women in our community that are really helping serve Tampa Bay well."
West St. Pete’s location also has power and WiFi, so it's also open as a recharging station. You can go to Radiant Church’s website to request help cleaning up from the storms, or to volunteer to help or donate. One hundred percent of the donations goes to hurricane aid.
