MCC urgently needs soap donations for countries where soap is scarce. Both bath soap (85 g or larger, in wrapper) and laundry soap(Fels Naptha, Sunlight, or Zote) are needed. Please donate to meet this crucial need. Donations can be brought to Grace and placed in the box in the church foyer marked Soap Donations, or to the MCC Thrift Shop.

MCC Ontario programs have been quite busy recently! With everything from relief-kit packing to refugee sponsorship paperwork to providing workshops and advocacy, staff and volunteers have been active in local communities working for peace and justice.
 
Your generosity is the cornerstone of this work. Through your partnership, you:

• walk alongside—offering support to individuals living in poverty in Ontario
• give welcome—embracing and supporting over 100 newcomers to our communities
• improve global relief efforts—packing and shipping thousands of comforters, hygiene kits and relief supplies to communities in crisis around the world
• facilitate reconciliation—fostering respect and relationship through the distribution of food bundles and quilts in northern communities…and so much more!

 
Thank you for making a difference here in Ontario. https://mcc.org/our-stories/your-impact-ontario-summer-2024
 
Mennonite Central Community - Relief, development and peace in the name of Christ

The challenge: Help 24,000 kids attend school by donating 24,000 school kits during the month of August. Whether you donate one or 100 school kits, every donation helps!
Notebooks and pencils are a tangible message of God’s love for families around the world who have been forced to flee their homes or struggle to afford basic school supplies. Without these items, many kids can’t get the education they desperately need.
 
Unable to purchase supplies and drop off a school kit? No worries! You can sponsor the cost of items for one instead. A donation of $9 covers the cost of the items for one kit, including the double drawstring bag that we used to pack supplies.
