"MediPurpose's donation will make a real difference in the lives of countless people," said Rev. Wendell E. Mettey, the president and founder of Matthew 25: Ministries. "Donated medical supplies help to bring hope and relieve the suffering of those caught in the grips of poverty, disease and natural disasters."
MediPurpose frequently donates medical products to benevolent and charitable organizations that provide healthcare to at-need communities, according to MediPurpose Director of Marketing Derek Rudnak.
