Why A Relief Sale?

Why Hold a Relief Sale?

Since when is helping people around the world this much fun?
Each year in Canada and the United States, thousands of volunteers come together to raise money for MCC for the relief of suffering in the world. Over $5.5million was raised in 2007 with an average of 85 percent sent to the field.

Many churches join together to set up food booths, accumulate items for auction, provide children’s activities, and organize other kinds of booths to raise funds for MCC. Having the community atmosphere of a festival, a relief sale invites the general public to “give to Jesus” since all proceeds from the sale go directly to MCC. These festivals/auctions offer a little bit of everything - quilts, artwork, crafted woodwork, homemade foods, antiques and crafts. Often there is music and lots of fun activities for kids including an auction just for them.
