- Thank You from MCC: Greetings in the name of Christ. Thank you for your donation to Mennonite Central Committee which will be used to help those who are suffering around the world. The past year has seen conflicts intensify, wars threaten more people and weather disasters cause devastation around the planet. But your contributions of kits, canned meat and comforters have helped children cope with some of the challenges they face every day. Thank you. With gratitude for your generosity, Sarah Doerksen – MCC Great Lakes Material Resource Coordinator
