Your gift today helps a family facing hunger.
More than 864 million people around the world experience severe food insecurity, meaning they run out of food at times during the year and, at worst, go an entire day or more without eating.
Your Festival gift helps provide emergency food and support lasting solutions that help communities thrive through MCC food projects in Ethiopia, Ukraine, Gaza, Haiti and here in BC.
