Mennonite relief sale

Mennonite relief sale

Forty five Mennonite relief sales throughout the United States and Canada raise five million USD annually for Mennonite Central Committee to fund relief and service projects throughout the world.

Many of these sales feature quilts handmade by Mennonite and Amish volunteers, auctions, artwork, crafted woodwork, homemade foods, antiques, crafts, plants, children's activities, and musical programs. Most of the goods and labor are donated, and 88% of the funds raised go directly into the field.
