Nepal Flooding Response: MCC’s local partners are helping with rescue efforts and providing emergency assistance in Nepal. You can provide emergency food, water purification tablets and psychosocial support by donating at mcc.org.

Christmas Giving: This holiday season, invite your congregation to give gifts that cluck, baa, refresh, grow and inspire through MCC’s Christmas Giving Guide. Each gift supports projects like chickens and sheep that help families earn income, clean water and gardening supplies that improve health and nutrition, and education that opens doors to new opportunities for girls. Every gift helps families around the world build stronger futures while giving someone you love a meaningful gift that changes lives. To help your church share these gifts, MCC has created a free Christmas Giving kit with everything you need to set up an interactive Christmas tree display. Sign up to receive yours here!
