Cincinnati, OH, March 12, 2020 --(PR.com)-- Matthew 25: Ministries, an international humanitarian aid and disaster relief organization headquartered in Cincinnati, OH welcomes Duracell PowerForward as a partner in domestic disaster relief. Since 2005, Matthew 25: Ministries has been providing disaster relief throughout the US, developing a multi-layered program that continues to grow and expand while serving multiple disasters including tornadoes, hurricanes, floods, wildfires, contaminations and droughts. In addition to providing truckloads of aid to shelters and distribution centers, Matthew 25’s Disaster Response Team currently provides laundry services, bags of ice and delivers products directly into affected neighborhoods in order to help those who cannot evacuate as well as those who are returning to their homes to begin the recovery process.
Matthew 25’s partnership with Duracell on the PowerForward program will provide individuals and families recovering from disasters with much needed access to batteries necessary to operate electronic equipment such as vital lighting or to maintain important health-related devices. These critical services will greatly enhance the maintenance and recovery process for those affected by disasters, providing physical, psychological and emotional benefits to recipients.
“I have seen first-hand the difference that batteries make during a disaster,” says Matthew 25: Ministries’ CEO, Tim Mettey, “and the partnership with Duracell will truly help so many in need.”
The Duracell PowerForward Truck made its first deployment with Matthew 25’s Disaster Response Team on Wednesday, March 4, headed toward the Nashville Tennessee area, which was ravaged by a tornado earlier in the week. The Duracell PowerForward Truck is equipped to carry as many as 20,000 Duracell batteries and houses on-board charging stations for mobile devices. The Duracell PowerForward Truck is an ideal charging resource for those impacted, helping them reconnect with friends and family following natural disasters.
"We see it as our duty and are committed to provide assistance to people in need whenever possible," says Gulhande Sanay, Senior Vice President, North America Strategy and Innovation at Duracell. "We're proud to be partnering with Matthew 25: Ministries to deploy our Power Forward vehicle to bring essentials such as batteries and charging access to those affected by the devastating tornado outbreak that touched down in Tennessee this week. We hope the batteries and charging access brings some needed relief to those that we are able to reach.”
