Interfaith Programs

Cintas is proud to be a sponsor of Matthew 25: Ministries, a non-profit, interfaith ministry that provides humanitarian aid to residents in the United States and in 40 developing countries around the world.

Since 1998, Cintas has donated clothing, sewing machines, fabric, linens, soap, medicine, personal care items and school supplies to Matthew 25: Ministries. To date, the company has donated over 12 million pounds of products.

• Clothing a Needy World - Cintas has donated inventory to provide clothing for children and families. Through a program called "Clothe the Kids," Cintas employee-partners have collected over one million articles of clothing for children around the country.
  
  
• Fabric of Hope - Part of the Ministries' priorities is "to provide hope and dignity to the poorest of the poor and to teach them to be self-sufficient." To this end, Cintas has donated sewing machines and fabric so that men and women can start and sustain their own sewing businesses in their communities.
  
  
• Healing Hands - Cintas' First Aid and Safety Division has donated medicine and medical supplies for communities in developing countries.
  
  
• Cleaner World . . . Healthier Kids - Cintas arranged for additional relationships between our suppliers and the Matthew 25: Ministries for donations of anti-bacterial soaps and other items to fight illness and disease.
