Matan Employees Embark on Week-Long Service Trip to El Salvador with Building Futures Project

FREDERICK, Md., Oct. 30, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- A team of Matan Companies employees recently travelled to El Salvador for a week-long service trip in partnership with Building Futures Project, a nonprofit organization dedicated to empowering underserved Latin American communities through critical nutritional, educational, and housing support.

During the trip, Matan employees collaborated closely with residents of Las Delicias—a vibrant community in San Juan Opico near San Salvador—and the Building Futures Project team to make a meaningful impact. Together, they painted a local daycare center and helped repair and enhance a resident's home. Beyond the construction efforts, the Matan team actively participated in community outreach initiatives, including serving hot lunches to local families, delivering food to homebound elderly individuals, and connecting with local children through recreational activities. 

"This experience was both humbling and inspiring," said Meredith Roark, Director of Operations, and head of Matan's Philanthropic Committee. "The trip left a lasting impression on me and all of our employees who came, further strengthening our company's commitment to giving back – both locally and globally."

Matan Companies has a long history of philanthropic involvement, supporting initiatives in Frederick and Montgomery County, MD, as well as throughout the Mid-Atlantic region. The El Salvador trip marks the company's first international service initiative of this kind.

"We're thrilled to partner with Matan Companies on this mission," said Sean Hanel, Executive Director of Building Futures Project. "Their willingness to step outside their comfort zones to serve others speaks volumes about the culture they've built at Matan. Building Futures Project would not be where we are today without their support."

Matan Companies is in the process of planning another trip with Building Futures Project in February 2026. If you, or your company are interested in a service trip to El Salvador with Building Futures Project, or monetarily supporting their mission, please visit: buildingfuturesproject.org.
