Pill Bottle Donations

Matthew 25: Ministries accepts donations of empty plastic pill bottles for inclusion in shipments of medical supplies. Our pill bottle program fulfills the dual needs of improving medical care in developing countries and caring for our environment.

Beginning March 1, 2023, Matthew 25: Ministries will only be requesting donations of clean, empty plastic pill bottles for inclusion in shipments of medical supplies.

Acceptable collection items include:

Prescription and over-the-counter pill bottles
Large and small pill bottles
Pill Bottles with and without secure caps (child-resistant)

Pill bottle donations should adhere to the following guidelines:

Bottles included in shipments of medical supplies must have an all plastic lid.
Bottles should be sorted by color and type.
All labels should be removed, leaving no glue or residue.
All bottles and lids should be washed in very hot water and dish soap, rinsed, and dried thoroughly.
Caps should be placed back onto clean, dried bottles.
Clean, recapped bottles should be placed into large resealable bags marked “Clean Bottles.” These will be included in shipments of medical supplies.
