MCC Update

Take the pledge, choose thrift first! Care for our planet by making secondhand your first choice. For example, help reduce textile waste by checking out a thrift shop before you look at any new clothing for the rest of the year. Pledge your commitment at choosethriftfirst.ca or click here

Your church can join a community of compassionate Manitobans working to end global hunger. Sponsor an acre of Manitoba farmland with Grow Hope and help provide food and agriculture training for people in places like Cambodia and DR Congo. Plus, every $1 you give can grow up to $5! Visit mccmb.ca/GrowHope or call Simone at 204-261-6381 to find out how to get started.

Join MANSO for a virtual event on June 18. The event will include the opportunity to learn more about Canada’s Private Sponsorship of Refugees (PSR) program and to hear more real-life stories told from both the refugee and sponsor sides. This is an MCC supported event. Learn more here or at https://fb.me/e/1yPctYlZW.
