What we do

Mennonite Central Committee (MCC) works alongside local churches and communities in more than 50 countries, including Canada and the United States, to carry out relief, development and peace work in the name of Christ. MCC also seeks to build bridges to connect people and ideas across cultural, political and economic divides.

MCC relies on the support of Mennonite and Brethren in Christ churches to provide committed, energetic workers, financial support and prayer for this worldwide ministry.

Relief

MCC continues to meet basic needs around the globe, supporting local communities and churches by sending food or material goods and funding other projects in regions recovering from war and disasters. MCC aid includes canned meat; food assistance; comforters and blankets; kits of relief, school and health supplies; and other items.

Development

MCC works alongside local congregations and communities to seek long-term solutions to poverty, hunger and poor health. This includes projects to ensure access to sufficient food, clean water and quality education and to respond to the HIV and AIDS pandemic.

Peace

Peace and justice are at the heart of MCC’s mission. MCC supports local peacemakers, congregations and communities in efforts in healing, reconciliation and peace, especially in regions torn by war or armed conflict.
