Cincinnati, OH, April 15, 2020 --(PR.com)-- For hospitals/first responders interested in receiving batteries please contact info@m25m.org or naconsumerrelations@duracell.com.
Matthew 25: Ministries, an international humanitarian aid and disaster relief organization headquartered in Cincinnati, OH is partnering with Duracell’s PowerForward Program to provide batteries to hospitals, first responders, fire departments, police departments, healthcare facilities and more. Through the partnership, up to 10 million batteries will be distributed to those on the front lines of the COVID-19 fight. These batteries power everyday critical hospital devices such as thermometers, glucometers, feeding pumps, infusion pumps, blood pressure monitors/cuffs, oxygen meters, insulin pumps, and more.
So far, the partnership with Duracell’s PowerForward Program and Matthew 25 has distributed approximately 756,000 batteries to more than 240 hospitals, first responders, and other organizations. As hospitals and healthcare facilities across the US work to contain the spread of the coronavirus and to care for those affected, Matthew 25 and the Duracell PowerForward Program partnership anticipate distributing millions of additional batteries to organizations locally and throughout the US in the coming weeks. These batteries will have a tremendous impact and will help support partners’ tireless efforts as they care for high-risk populations including the sick, the elderly, the impoverished, and others in need.
In addition to the activities described above, Matthew 25 is purchasing bulk quantities of desperately needed supplies and will continue to distribute them to their partners, many of whom are struggling to secure materials due to the increased demand during this crisis. Matthew 25: Ministries has also implemented a mobile feeding program, serving lunch to staff at local hospitals. Matthew 25 is also making face shields to protect healthcare workers.
As of April 10, Matthew 25 has distributed more than 265,000 pounds of emergency supplies to more than 400 organizations. Supplies include N95 and surgical masks, gloves, hand sanitizer, sanitizing wipes, paper products, gowns, personal care and sanitizing kits, soap, batteries and additional PPE, personal care, and cleaning items.
