Mennonite Central Committee (MCC) Canada is proud to announce that for the third year in a row it has been named by Charity Intelligence as one of its top 10 international impact charities in addition to being included on its national top 100 rated charity list.

“There was no shortage of needs to be met in the world this year,” says Rick Cober Bauman, executive director for MCC Canada. “We’re hearing urgent pleas from the communities in which we work, about the challenges they are facing — the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic, the effects of climate change, a global hunger crisis, forced displacement and military violence among others. And we’ve seen the desire that compassionate Canadians have to make a difference through trusted charities like MCC. We take seriously the responsibility of stewarding donor’s gifts.”

Working with more than 380 local partners in 45 countries, MCC has supported relief, development and peace for more than a century.

Through the support of its donors, MCC has provided relief to countries including Ukraine, South Sudan and Syria, where hunger, conflict and violence are destroying the safety and livelihoods of millions. And it continues to support development work that creates lasting change for people in need around the world.

MCC Canada is proud to see Canadian Foodgrains Bank, in which MCC is a member organization, also listed on the top 100 list as well as being named a top 10 impact charity.
