Matthew 25’s Disaster Response Team Revisits Locations Helped in 2017 after Hurricane Harvey

SEPTEMBER 23, 2019 Cincinnati, OH – Matthew 25: Ministries, an international humanitarian aid and disaster relief organization in Cincinnati, OH is sending a disaster response team to Texas in response to massive flooding resulting from Tropical Depression Imelda. The tropical storm made landfall on Tuesday, September 17 and lingered over the Gulf area, causing incredible flooding in much of the region. Some areas recorded more than 40 inches of rain, approaching the records set during Hurricane Harvey in 2017. Matthew 25’s team will likely be revisiting many of the locations where they spent time post-Harvey, including cities like Houston, Beaumont, and Port Arthur. Imelda could become Southeast Texas’ fifth 500-year flood event in five years.

In partnership with Procter and Gamble, Matthew 25: Ministries will be deploying with a selection of Matthew 25’s Disaster Response vehicles including a Tide Loads of Hope Mobile Unit that can do up to 200 loads of laundry a day and two customized panel trucks loaded with supplies such as P&G personal care kits, household and cleaning products, Cintas first aid and safety kits and supplies, and additional items such as Pampers diapers, Charmin toilet paper, Tide Pods, and tarps.
