Triumph
Church
Challenge
Region
to Show
Togetherness
Against
COVID-19
by
Giving
DETROIT,
MI –
With the
state of
emergency
still in
effect
and many
public
buildings
closed
Triumph
Church,
along
with its
partner,
Verizon,
donated
electronic
digital
devices
to
access
the
internet
for
students
who need
to take
AP
exams.
These
devices
will
also
assist
students
who had
scheduled
exams
with the
college
Board to
take the
test in
the
comfort,
safety
and
security
of their
own
homes.
“When we
found
out that
some
students
in the
District
did not
have the
necessary
connectivity
to the
internet
to take
the AP
exams,
we
reached
out to
our
network
of
friends
to find
another
solution
to
students
having
to walk
through
a
community
devastated
by
COVID-19
to take
AP
exams,
said
Senior
Pastor
Solomon
Kinloch.
Verizon
stepped
up to
provide
devices
at a
deep
discount
as a
show of
support
for our
efforts.
We
appreciate
their
commitment
to our
children.”
“When we
notified
Dr.
Nikolai
Vitti,
General
Superintendent
of the
Detroit
Public
Schools
Community
District,
of our
desire
to
assist
in
bridging
the
digital
device,
he
committed
two high
level
staff
persons—Iranetta
Wright,
Deputy
Superintendent,
and
Chief
Ralph
Godbee
to work
with us
to
address
the
issue,
said
Attorney
Anthony
Adams,
head of
the
Social
Justice
Ministry
for
Triumph
Church.
It is
extremely
import
to our
church
that our
children
be
protected
during
this
devastating
pandemic.”
“People
have
experienced
a wide
range of
emotions
regarding
this
outbreak,
from
anger
and
anxiety,
to fear
and
sadness,”
remarked
Pastor
Solomon
Kinloch,
Jr.,
senior
pastor
at
Triumph
Church.
“So it
is
important
that the
Church
remain a
light of
positivity
– a
House of
Hope –
particularly
in times
like
these.”
As a
part of
its
ongoing
effort
to
assist
in
getting
the
community
through
COVID-19
in
Detroit,
Triumph
Church
continues
to
donate
on a
weekly
basis
digital
devises
to those
suffering
in the
margins
of
society.
Triumph
Church
has also
opened
its
Compassion
Center
at the
church’s
East
Campus,
located
at 2760
East
Grand
Boulevard
in
Detroit.
It
offers
emergency
groceries
and
available
supplies
by
drive-up
every
Monday,
Wednesday
and
Friday.
On
Tuesdays
and
Thursdays,
the
church
also
offers
free
groceries
–
delivered
by its
staff
and
volunteers.
Unemployed
workers,
single
mothers,
senior
citizens
or those
physically
disabled
can
register
to
receive
the
pick-up
or
delivery
service
at
www.TriumphCh.org.
Groceries
will be
distributed
to
qualified
registrants
on a
first-come-first-served
basis,
and
limited
to one
giveaway
per
household
per
week.
Contributors
can also
support
Triumph
Church
help our
young
people
suffering
from a
shortened
school
year,
due to
lack of
resources.
Because
of the
“Digital
Divide,”
many
Detroit-area
students
have
been
unable
to
continue
educational
settings
during
COVID-19
because
they
lacked
the
hardware.
Triumph
Church
will use
your
direct
contributions
to
secure
laptops
or
tablets
for
affected
students.
Donations
will not
deduct
administrative
costs or
fees, so
100% of
the
donations
are to
secure
devices.
With
greater
support,
Triumph
would
also
like to
impact
other
needs
that may
arise,
such as:
child
care
services
for
medical
professionals
and
first
responders,
more
grief
and
family
counseling,
or
donating
personal
protective
equipment.
“The
one
thing I
am
confident
about is
this: we
have a
mandate
from
Christ
to care
for the
vulnerable
in our
community.
So we’re
issuing
a
challenge
to our
members,
friends,
other
Churches,
and the
greater
community
to use
this
national
crisis
as a
catalyst
to bring
us
together.
Start a
start a
similar
campaign
of
giving
or join
forces
will
ours for
a
greater
impact.
Togetherness
is what
will
defeat
this
enemy,
said
Pastor
Solomon
Kinloch.”
