After visiting Matthew 25 and observing their operations, I have a better understanding of the organization. Matthew 25 is an organization that actually cares about the people they serve. What makes Matthew 25 unique is the abundance of volunteers who give their time to help people who are less fortunate than them. Their volunteers consist of trained healthcare professionals and ordinary citizens. What I observed was a group of people in need being helped by people who seem happy to serve. Matthew 25 serves the Allen County community by offering healthcare services to adults who are uninsured, underinsured, and/or low income. The healthcare services they offer include medical, dental, vision, and prescription. Matthew 25 offers all their services free of charge to the patient, all they ask for is a $5 – $10 donation. Considering that healthcare is a billion dollar industry and we live in a very financially driven society, I think it’s pretty amazing what Matthew 25 does and I am happy that I can contribute, even if it is in a minute way. I’ll end with a quote that I think is relevant, “Helping a person will not necessarily change the world, but it will change the world for that person.”
