RENTON, Wash.,
March 28, 2022
/PRNewswire/ -- Radiant Logistics, Inc. (NYSE American: RLGT), a
third-party logistics and multimodal transportation services
company, today announced the expansion of its humanitarian aid and
disaster relief efforts to include a service desk dedicated to the
support of the ongoing crisis in Ukraine.
Radiant has most recently been working round the clock in
response to the unfolding crisis in Ukraine with the delivery of vital medical
supplies including oxygen concentrators and medical backpacks, as
well as cold chain items including insulin and other urgently
needed medicines. Within the past thirty days, more than 100
tons of emergency equipment and food have been moved into and
around the region, with another 50 tons already on the ground and
in the hands of those currently entrenched in war zone relief
work. Radiant's Humanitarian Aid and Disaster Relief Team
includes vital partners and competency centers that are
geographically, culturally and strategically placed to best respond
to these needs.
Radiant has long held a strong presence working with U.S.
government and NGO organizations in support of humanitarian aid and
disaster relief. Over the past many years, Radiant has continuously
provided mission support, including over 100 charters for Project
Airbridge (the accelerated transportation project created in
conjunction with FEMA and the Office of the White House to bring
PPE and other critical medical supplies into the U.S. during the
COVID-19 pandemic response), disaster relief missions for Saipan's
Super Typhoon Yutu (including the movement of hundreds of thousands
of pounds of building supplies, tents, MREs, water and more), along
with countless other projects. The formalization of the Ukraine
Service Desk will enable an even more streamlined response to such
time-sensitive work.
Says Arnie Goldstein, Chief
Commercial Officer for Radiant: "With a team of dedicated experts
in this important vertical we are continuing to make good on the
trust placed in us and rise to the challenge of difficult and often
unstable situations. The Humanitarian Aid and Disaster Relief Team
and Ukraine Desk further solidify our continued and active
participation with relief and recovery efforts for clients around
the world."
