Please see the message from Bruce Guenther, Director of Disaster Response for MCC Canada:
Right now, MCC is responding to more than a dozen urgent humanitarian crises around the world. And we need your help to make sure that we can get the right emergency supplies to the people in greatest need.
Like in Gaza, where 75% of people have been forced to flee their homes. Many have taken shelter under thin plastic sheets that do little to protect them from the elements.
Almost all of these families are facing famine.
And that’s just in Gaza.
Families are also caught in conflict in countries like Ukraine, Syria, South Sudan, DR Congo, and Myanmar. We continue to be moved by Christ’s call to serve them, but we need your help.
For example, right now, we’re working on sending truckloads of emergency food items to more than 12,000 people in Gaza.*
Your generosity today can help make that happen.
In fact, your support will give our partners on the ground much needed encouragement as they navigate the ongoing bombardment and blockades to get these humanitarian supplies where they need to go.
Though we all live in different corners of the earth, we share something in common:
We are all committed to working for peace.
Each one of us has something to give — our money, our time, our prayers — to help our global neighbours in need.
You are an essential part of our work. If you’re able to make a gift today, to provide critical emergency relief for families who are caught in conflict, click here.
But if now isn’t the right time for you, I understand. And I appreciate you taking the time to read my email anyways!
Thank you for being the hands and feet of Jesus for those in need.
May God bless you,
— Bruce

P.S. Gaza. Ukraine. Syria. Myanmar. Too many of our global neighbours are caught in conflict right now. Your gift will help us get things such as food and other basic necessities to the children and families who need them most.
