MCC Relief Kits Needed!
Collection Date: Sunday April 26 | Website
MCC's Material Resource team is in desperate need of relief kits. Between recent shipments and those already planned, their supplies are low. At this pace, they will not be able to ship any relief kits to partners who have requested them next fiscal year until more are collected. The reality is that almost all requests to their warehouse include relief kits.
Relief kit collection and packing are some of the most tangible ways we can respond to people facing crisis. Each kit becomes a practical expression of care and compassion during times of displacement, disaster or conflict.
Click HERE for instructions on what to put in your relief kit. Or you can donate towards the cost of a kit here.
