Kits and comforters

When you send kits and comforters to people in the midst of conflict, disaster or poverty, you provide a tangible reminder that their needs matter.

Collecting and shipping supplies such as school and hygiene kits, infant and relief kits, comforters, and other materials is a hands-on way we share God's love and help those in need.

You can help by:

Making and donating kits
Hosting a kit-making event
Volunteering at the MCC Alberta Warehouse

Restorative Justice

MCC Alberta's Restorative Justice programs help foster support and accountability for people returning to the community after incarceration, and work to restore and repair relationships for those impacted by crime.

Circles of Support and Accountability (CoSA) are groups of four to seven volunteers who are primarily from the faith community. They are committed to enhancing public safety by supporting community re-entry for former high-risk offenders through covenanting, meeting and walking daily with them.
