Ministry Outreach
MPI has donated panels to communities in need around the world through Cross-Catholic Outreach. Donating panels, trim and fasteners can literally change lives and communities in incredible ways. MPI invites fellow manufacturers and suppliers to consider joining the effort to provide materials for basic shelter for those who need it most.
Building Strong Roofs and Strong Communities
Central America, Africa & the Caribbean
Last year, our panel donations impacted families and communities even further from the U.S., supporting ministry outreaches in the landlocked African nation of Eswatini (formerly Swaziland).
Challenge Ministries of Swaziland used our panels to put a new roof on a damaged counseling center, where this ministry rehabilitates men struggling with addiction. Also, thanks to the panels and supplies MPI and partners provided, they were able to construct an animal pen, and the center will now be able to add more protein to the children’s meals at a significantly lower cost.
Dominican Republic
In November 2023, a heavy storm left the Dominican community of San Miguel in ruins. Ten individuals lost their lives, hundreds of people were displaced, and nothing was left of their simple homes. Those structures of straw, plastic and low-quality sheet metal simply couldn’t withstand the high wind and torrential rain.
Hundred for One Foundation received some of our metal panels to support rebuilding homes. One home went to a woman named Jesucita, who was struggling to recover from the devastating storm. She now enjoys the safety and security of a concrete-block home with a strong, weather-resistant roof. Because of our donations through Cross Catholic Outreach, they know that when the next storm comes, they can sleep soundly through the night. Their homes will provide the security and protection they prayed God would provide.
Making Change That Lasts
Thank you from Cross Catholic Outreach:
“Mitch and Jennifer, MPI and Partners, you have outdone yourselves again! After donating an incredible 16 shipments of quality roofing supplies in 2023, you increased your support even more in 2024 by providing a total of 17 shipments at a value exceeding any previous year. Thank you for entrusting these supplies to Cross Catholic Outreach and for empowering the ministries we partner with around the world.”
Thank you from Mitchell:
“All of you [MPI sales and production teams, Vendors and Suppliers] play a part in our ability to be able to affect so many lives around the world. In conjunction with the support we get from United Steel Supply, we are now working on loads 73 and 74 going to 10 different countries around the world, impacting many thousands of lives for people who need it the most. Thank you all for your efforts in making this kind of impact for so many people. Together we bring our loaves and fish and watch the Lord multiply those gifts beyond our comprehension to fully understand.”
Of course, the most important thing was that hundreds — perhaps thousands — of lives were impacted by your generosity. The resources you donated provided a practical, lasting solution to the housing needs of the poor and blessed families with this tangible expression of God’s love. Thanks to you, families living on the margins of society have safer homes, enjoy greater comfort and have hope in a brighter future!
