Cincinnati, OH, January 05, 2013 --(PR.com)-- Top-ranked Nonprofit Tops One Billion Dollars in Humanitarian Aid Distributed
In December, 2012 Matthew 25: Ministries, a top-ranked international humanitarian aid and disaster relief organization headquartered in Cincinnati, Ohio exceeded one billion dollars in total humanitarian aid shipped. In 1991, Founder and President Reverend Wendell Mettey made his first trip to Nicaragua as part of a medical mission team. Although Reverend Mettey grew up in an inner city neighborhood and worked as an inner city social worker and pastor, these experiences had done little to prepare him for what he experienced in Nicaragua during his visit. The poverty and devastation was endless.
Reverend Mettey made a promise to himself that he would find a way to help the people of Nicaragua and thus Matthew 25: Ministries began. Over the years, Matthew 25’s distribution activities have expanded to include partners locally in Greater Cincinnati, throughout the United States and around the world. Since 1991, Matthew 25: Ministries has grown from a small group of dedicated individuals carrying supplies in suitcases to a top-ranked international humanitarian aid and disaster relief organization distributing 15,000,000 pounds of products a year locally, nationally and internationally.
