What is the MCC Mennonite Relief Sale?

Nick Mosley helps by selling caps, yardsticks, and other useful items.

Started over 30 years ago, the Kansas Mennonite Relief Sale has been an annual event of the Mennonite Central Committee (MCC), a relief organization formed in 1920.  Over 70 Mennonite, Brethren in Christ, and Amish congregations in Kansas, and their friends, donate their gifts and services for this annual festival and benefit auction.  All proceeds from the sale are used to provide for material needs and community development in North America and across the world in the name of Christ.

Through participation in the Mennonite Relief Sale, we share our resources to mend a broken world.  We send food to satisfy hunger, clothing to warm the cold, and compassionate people to help build self esteem and community.

Whatever your interests, the MCC Relief Sale probably has something for you! Come for the auctions and pick from a rainbow of useful (and decorative) household items, many hand crafted, admire and buy some of the hundreds of beautifully hand-made quilts, eat and take home delicious foods including traditional German and Russian dishes, pick up some plants (house, perennials, grasses, berries, trees), and take home lovely craft items or supplies. Also, have your children bring their pennies and help fill up a big stock tank! Don't forget to toss in your spare change as well.
