This is a
community effort of many churches and individuals to help
bring agricultural assistance, community development and
social services for the hungry and needy of the world.
Proceeds
from the sale help support the work of the Mennonite Central
Committee (MCC), a cooperative relief and service agency
located in Akron, Pennsylvania. MCC was started by
Mennonites in 1920
to help alleviate the famine in Russia. Today it has
numerous volunteers working in America and countries
around the world. Eighty percent of
relief sale proceeds
go toward MCC efforts. Twenty percent is distributed locally to help
people in need.
