MCC has workers or financial commitments in more than 60 countries around the world, including the U.S. and Canada. Together, MCC U.S. and MCC Canada administer this work. MCC is concrete and hands-on. MCC addresses basic human needs such as water, food and shelter and works alongside churches and communities in a variety of efforts to build peace. You can take part in the work of MCC, whether by serving in your home country or abroad, by donating time or money or by canning meat, sewing blankets, assembling kits for humanitarian aid, volunteering in thrift shops or for relief sales or participating in advocacy campaigns. MCC is focused on relationships. MCC works through and with local churches and community groups to enable them to better respond to the needs within their own communities. MCC builds bridges to connect people and ideas across cultural, political and economic divides. MCC values peace and justice. MCC addresses injustice and oppression. MCC is committed to nonviolent peacemaking, including loving those who might be considered enemies. MCC is rooted in faith in Jesus Christ and the witness of the global church. We welcome your prayers and encourage you to explore and participate in the world of MCC.
