MAY 26, 2020  Cincinnati, OH – On May 27 and 28, Matthew 25: Ministries will be providing COVID-19 supplies to members of the Greater Cincinnati community to help promote personal and public safety during the Coronavirus outbreak.

From 11AM – 1PM on Wednesday and Thursday vehicles will be able to drive through the Matthew 25 parking lot and pick up a kit of supplies such as hand sanitizer, gloves, masks and cough drops along with food from Arby’s, courtesy of Brandicorp (up to 1,000 people served each day).  Because supplies are limited, there will be a maximum of two kits per vehicle.

In observance of social distancing guidelines, vehicles will pull up to the distribution station, pop their trunk and receive their donation of supplies and food.  In an effort to best protect public health, recipients are asked not to leave their vehicle while picking up supplies.  Matthew 25 also asks recipients to keep personal interactions to a minimum during this distribution.

Matthew 25 continues working with first responders, hospitals, healthcare providers, public service agencies and other organizations and businesses to ensure that they have access to the supplies they need to protect their employees and safely meet the needs of the community.  To date, Matthew 25: Ministries has distributed over 1,500,000 pounds of supplies including masks, gloves, hand sanitizer, disinfecting wipes, paper products, soap, batteries, diapers, plus additional personal protective equipment, personal care products, and cleaning items to more than 750 partners.
