Matthew 25: Ministries
• Caring For A Needy World With The Things We Throw Away. -Rev. Wendell Mettey
Did you know that nearly 70 percent of Americans take at least one prescription drug, and more than half take two? That’s a whole lot of empty pill bottles when the medication is gone. While some of these bottles are recycled or reused, many of them end up in landfills.
One group is working to change that. Cincinnati-based Matthew 25: Ministries, an international humanitarian aid and disaster relief organization, accepts donations of empty plastic pill bottles that are either sent to places where medical supplies are needed or are shredded and recycled. “Our pill bottle program fulfills the dual needs of improving medical care in developing countries and caring for our environment,” according to the website.
Pill Bottles to the Rescue

So next time you find yourself taking a prescription or over-the-counter medication, save the bottle — don’t toss it! Before sending it off, remove the label. You can do this by submerging the bottle in a pot of boiling water if it doesn’t easily peel off. If there’s still a little sticky residue on the bottle, lemon essential oil will easily remove it.
Bring the bottles in to St. Martins, we'll pack them up and send them to Matthew 25: Ministries to be used by those who need them.
