 MCC relief and hygiene kits Mennonite Central Committee (MCC) has an urgent need for relief and hygiene kits. Relief kits provide valuable supplies to families whose lives have been disrupted by war or disaster. Hygiene kits give people the supplies they need to stay healthy. In times of need, these kits provide basic necessities like towels, bar soap, toothbrushes and nail clippers, while also reminding people their needs are not forgotten.  Young adult service opportunities with MCC MCC is currently accepting applications for Serving and Learning Together (SALT), a year-long, cross-cultural service experience for young adults between 18 and 30 years old. Through SALT, Christian young adults from the U.S. and Canada serve internationally in a wide variety of positions in fields like education, agriculture, health care, information technology, peace and more!
