Manitoba

MCC has worked in Manitoba for over 50 years, walking alongside Manitobans to build healthy communities, families and relationships - right here and around the world.

Abuse Response and Prevention is a Canada-wide MCC program addressing interpersonal violence and assisting those in need. MCC Manitoba empowers churches and individuals with resources, support and knowledge for trauma-sensitive responses to abuse.

The Indigenous Neighbours program helps foster healing, friendship and reconciliation between Indigenous and non-Indigenous Manitobans. We engage in this work through education, advocacy and dialogue.

MCC Manitoba partners with Manitobans to respond to the needs of refugees and displaced people around the world. We promote refugee sponsorship, provide educational resources and advocate for fair legislation.

MCC is excited to be able to partner with you and the Canadian government in the Blended Visa Office Referral (BVOR) refugee sponsorships. Through the BVOR program, a sponsoring group (that’s you!) is matched with a refugee family and commit to providing 12 months of social, emotional, and settlement support*, with half of the costs covered by the Canadian government.

For MCC, peace is more than a wish. It’s our work. That work spans from workshops about having difficult conversations, to urban-rural dialogue on faith and farming, to advocating for climate justice. Together, we can make a difference.

Our social enterprises - 16 MCC Thrift shops and Sam's Place coffee shop - are run by dedicated volunteers, participants and staff.

Sam’s Place equips and empowers young people to overcome barriers by bridging the gap toward meaningful employment.

When you donate, volunteer or shop with MCC Thrift shops, you support relief, development and peace around the world.

Manitoba’s 16 locations thrive with the time and talent of 1,700 volunteers. Last year, our shops contributed $3.2 million to MCC’s work! Join us!
