Grow Hope 2026: Our generous Alberta farmers will, once again, be growing 344 acres of crops to benefit the world. Don’t despair, make a difference! You can Grow Hope and help to provide daily bread for people around the world. Sponsor acres or a part of an acre of Alberta farmland ($350/acre) and our Grow Hope farmers will grow and sell the crop. Proceeds go into MCC’s account at the Canadian Foodgrains Bank and are used for food relief, agricultural training, and livelihood support around the world! Go to org/growhopealberta to learn more.

Do you have a donation you’ve been meaning to drop off at MCC Thrift but keep forgetting? The Calgary Thrift Shop team will host a thrift donations drop-off at the Relief Sale.  Please, no furniture or other large item donations as our cargo space back to Calgary from Didsbury is limited!

Give hot meals to families in Lebanon. The crisis in Lebanon has escalated dramatically and children and families are paying the highest price. Needs are growing by the day, and the window to respond is urgent. Learn more and donate at mcc.org.

It’s Relief Sale, and you’re invited! So rally your family and friends and make the trip to Didsbury!  Come catch up with MCC friends from across the province. Satisfy cravings for your favourites like vereniki, sausage, rollkuchen, pie and more! Get in on the auction action. Set your kids loose to shop at the Thrift Pop Up stocked just for them! And partner with us as we raise money for MCC’s work of relief, development and peace in the name of Christ. Learn more and RSVP at mcc.org/events/albertareliefsale. Saturday May 30, Bergthal Event Centre, Didsbury, AB 9:00AM – 4:00PM
