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 mcc.org/growhopealberta to learn more.
