Our school kit challenge for 2024 has come to a close. To all who participated, thank you! Your have shown God's love to children around the world through the gift of school kits.
Take a look at the churches across Canada and the U.S. who came together this summer to pack kits. Thank you for coming together to make school kits a reality! And remember, we need kits all year round!

“Over the summer we have been collecting school supplies and sewing bags to help Mennonite Central Committee meet their challenge of 24,000 school kits gathered in August. This past Sunday, we packed 136 kits. We also have some extra supplies and bags to donate to the MCC Resource Center in Goshen. MCC does great work equipping children and youth in times of crisis with the tools they need for learning. Last year, MCC shipped 81,048 school kits to communities in Burundi, Chad, Ethiopia, Malawi, South Sudan, Ukraine, the U.S. and Zambia.”
