• Operation Mato Grosso (OMG) is asking for $6859.26 to purchase tools for a new group they have formed in the Baltimore area.  This group works with college and high school age individuals here in the United States to raise money to fund missions in South America. “OMG is an international effort to serve the most vulnerable and needy in South America by engaging in a collective desire to love others and give one’s life to something greater. OMG groups raise money by doing jobs in the community in which 100% of the proceeds are sent to the missions in our neighboring continent.” The young people in this group are forming a community of disciples to give their lives to something greater by becoming servants to their brothers and sisters here in this country and in South America.  We recommend granting the full amount to this request.

Operation Mato Grosso was awarded a grant of $6,859.26 from The Mark D. Pacione Foundation.
