The Hope Buss: The Hope Buss works to bridge the gap between local organizations and the community by attacking hopelessness at its core in a myriad of ways. The Hope Buss strives to connect local organizations to the crisis in the community, create sustainable resources, and invigorate hope and strength into the people. Understanding that needs will vary by each neighborhood, we work to assess the needs of residents and become partners with churches and community organizations to meet those needs.

We will be traveling to Shawnee Presbyterian Church to tour and worship with them, and we will also take canned goods to donate to the Hope Buss.

The work of Matthew 25: Ministries helps the poorest of the poor and disaster victims throughout the United States and around the world.
We accept monetary donations and product donations of misprinted, slightly damaged, over-stocked or gently used supplies from corporations, organizations and individuals nationwide. We also supplement outside donations by manufacturing, assembling and blending products in-house including school notebooks, pencils, rice-soy meals, and paint.
With the help of our volunteers, these goods are processed at our over 300,000 square-foot Processing Center in Cincinnati, Ohio and then shipped via forty-foot seagoing containers and by semi-trailers to the poorest of the poor and disaster victims.
Pill Bottle Donations:
Matthew 25: Ministries accepts donations of empty plastic pill bottles for inclusion in shipments of medical supplies and for shredding and recycling. Our pill bottle program fulfills the dual needs of improving medical care in developing countries and caring for our environment.
About the Project:
We have already collected empty pill bottles for donation over the past few months. During this project, we will clean, dry and package the empty pill bottles for delivery to the Matthew 25: Ministries project in Cincinnati.
