My Nonprofit Reviews

I started volunteering with Matthew 25 Ministries right after it started, shortly after Pastor Mettey's first trip to Nicaragua. I have always been inspired by not only the staff, but perhaps more importantly, by the volunteers. The people of Cincinnati are fortunate to have a place to come and work on a Saturday afternoon, or throughout the week and know without a doubt that the work matters. Tens of thousands come every year to process goods to be distributed to the poor throughout the US and the world. It is especially inspiring to see the large numbers of kids every weekend that come to work. They have pure joy on their faces because it's not only fun, but they feel good about what they're doing.

Another thing that is inspiring about M25M is their financial stewardship. I know of no other organization that does so much with the resources they have been blessed with. And it's not just those of us that come to work there that feel that way. Their independent audits prove year after year that Matthew 25 is dedicated to maximizing the number of people throughout the world they can help with the least possible cost. This is why Forbes and others have recognized M25M as being one of the most efficient charities in the US. That matters to me. I hope you'll take the time to research it yourself if you're interested. It's truly astounding.

I have also been on two trips with M25M, one to Nicaragua, and one to West Virginia. People's lives are being greatly impacted by the work of volunteers at M25M. I've seen it, I've heard it directly from the mouths of the people affected, I've lived it.

In short, I've seen God's work personified, magnified and glorified by Matthew 25 Ministries. Please join me there some Saturday morning. We'll sort some T-shirts and impact some lives.
