Please view video below to learn how to pack relief kits which are used to respond to natural disasters around the world.

We thank the hundreds of thousands of people who have put together kits or sewn blankets over the years both for their generosity and their dedication to providing high-quality items that can withstand the harsh conditions that many people who receive these supplies are facing.

Cash for kits
Help MCC buy needed items for families in their home communities or regions. Sometimes when a disaster strikes, it makes sense for MCC to purchase items locally to enable a quick response, when culturally appropriate or when government restrictions don't allow supplies to come into a country.

Why does MCC send material resources?
