Cincinnati, OH, November 04, 2012 --(PR.com)-- Matthew 25: Ministries, a top-ranked international humanitarian aid and disaster relief organization located in Cincinnati, OH begins on-location disaster relief activities for victims of Hurricane Sandy this weekend.
Matthew 25’s CEO and Disaster Relief Coordinator Tim Mettey departs at approximately 10:30 AM on Saturday, Nov. 3 for Brooklyn and the Jersey Shore, preparing the way for local partners and for Matthew 25’s first large truckload of supplies, which leaves Monday morning, Nov. 5. This truckload will be the first of many that will begin transporting desperately needed basic necessities such as cleaning supplies, paper products, personal care items, baby supplies, blankets and more to victims of Superstorm Sandy.

We will be working with our generous donors and partners for the next several months to ensure that the victims of Sandy have the necessities they need to begin recovering and rebuilding. It is very important that we all reach out to help these people during this time of crisis.”
