Join our Summer “Kit Campaign”
When disaster strikes or families are forced from their homes, basic supplies can become impossible to find. Material Resources – kits and comforters distributed by Mennonite Central Committee partners provide comfort, dignity, and practical help to people facing crisis around the world.
Donate supplies or make a financial gift – your generosity provides more than supplies – it provides comfort, care, and hope for people facing unimaginable hardship.
Just $25 covers the cost of one of the following:
4 School Kits ~ 1 Relief Kit ~ 1 Sewing Kit ~ 10 Hygiene Kits ~ 2 Infant Care Kits
Donate online!
