About Us
Radiant Community Development Corporation is a nonprofit organization with a heart for serving our city. We meet real needs with real care—providing food, creating opportunities for connection, and offering consistent support to families across Piscataway and surrounding areas.
Our Mission
"To serve our community with compassion and excellence—offering practical help, fostering connection, and shining hope in every neighborhood we reach.”
What began in May 2021 with a single pop-up food pantry has grown into a multi-faceted outreach ministry, reaching thousands each year with help and hope.
We believe service is more than meeting needs-it's about building relationships restoring dignity, and being a radiant light in every corner of our city.
