Matthew 25: Ministries responded to a powerful series of storms that swept through communities over the weekend of March 14-16, leaving a trail of devastation across the Midwest, South, and Plains. The system brought deadly tornadoes, destructive wildfires, dust storms, extreme winds, and severe thunderstorms, causing widespread destruction. Homes and infrastructure were destroyed, hundreds of thousands were left without power, and dangerous debris now covers entire landscapes. More than 40 lives were lost in the 80 reported tornadoes across multiple states, while dust storms in Kansas and Texas claimed at least 11 more.

Matthew 25 is committed to providing relief to the affected communities. Our Disaster Response Team deployed to the disaster region to distribute critical supplies, including personal care items, cleaning products, and baby supplies, to support recovery efforts. We have sent over 8 truckloads, delivering over 110,000 pounds of critical relief aid to the disaster-affected areas and will continue to work closely with partners to offer support for as long as it’s needed. Our goal is not only to provide physical aid but also to offer hope, encouragement, and a reminder that these communities are not alone in the challenges they face.
