Get Involved
Would you like to be a part of bringing hope to the poor? No matter your gifts, talents, or resources, we'll help find the right opportunity for you to get involved with Matthew 25: Ministries. Here are some ideas of ways you can help:
Volunteer
Matthew 25: Ministries is always in need of volunteers at our 132,000 square foot warehouse in Blue Ash, Ohio. Opportunities exist for individuals, families, and groups of any size. Please see our volunteer guidelines for more information.
For groups located outside of the Greater Cincinnati area, M25M provides
a great opportunity for day-long volunteer trips or overnight
multiple-day trips. Please call M25M (513-793-6256) for more information and for help with scheduling your visit.
Collections
Collect products and goods for the poorest of the poor. This is a great way for groups such as schools, businesses, clubs, etc. to help. We are always in need of clothing, personal care items, non-perishable food, medical supplies, and educational materials. Contact Matthew 25: Ministries for suggestions of critically needed items.
Fundraise
Host a spaghetti dinner,auction, or concert. Make Matthew 25: Ministries a part of your church's mission budget, mission Sunday, or special collection. Raise money as a general donation or to support a specific project. For example, a small but sturdy house in Nicaragua costs about $1,200. One M25M donor has spearheaded enough fundraising activities to pay for the construction of thirteen houses - each with a cement floor, solid door, shuttered windows, and waterproof roof! Ask M25M for assistance on fundraising ideas or promotional materials.
Pallet to the Poor
Sponsor a pallet of goods to send to the poor. A four-foot by four-foot pallet costs $192 and typically contains about $4,200 in products an supplies. Each pallet is labeled with the name of the sponsoring individual, group, or organization. A letter of acknowledgment and thanks lets the donor know where the pallet of products is going. Contact Joodi Archer for more information on the Pallet to the Poor Program.
Connect
Introduce a potential corporate donor to Matthew 25: Ministries. Your phone call or e-mail connecting M25M to the correct contact individual can save weeks or months of research to establish a connection.
