Matan Companies Employees Embark on a Meaningful Journey
A dedicated team of employees from Matan Companies recently returned from a week-long service trip to El Salvador, collaborating with the Building Futures Project. This nonprofit organization focuses on empowering communities in Latin America by providing essential nutrition, education, and housing support.
Making a Difference in El Salvador
During their time in El Salvador, Matan employees worked directly with the residents of Las Delicias, a vibrant community located in San Juan Opico, near San Salvador. The team joined forces with the Building Futures Project team to engage in various impactful activities. They painted a local daycare center and assisted with essential repairs to a resident's home, making the living environment safer and more welcoming for families.
Strengthening Community Bonds
In addition to construction efforts, the Matan team actively participated in outreach initiatives. They provided hot lunches to local families, delivered food to elderly individuals unable to leave their homes, and engaged with local children through recreational activities. These moments fostered a sense of connection and support within the community.
A Transformative Experience
Meredith Roark, Director of Operations and head of Matan's Philanthropic Committee, shared her reflections on the experience: "This experience was both humbling and inspiring. The trip left a lasting impression on me and all of our employees who participated, strengthening our commitment to giving back locally and globally."
