For a list of grocery box items and to coordinate your donation, please contact MCC East Coast Material Res ources Center manager James Wheeler at (717) 733-2847 or JamesWheeler@mcc.org. Stop by the MRC to drop off groceries to be packed for delivery or to pick up boxes to pack the groceries yourself. |

Are you interested in learning about why the United States incarcerates more people than any other country in the world? Do you want to better understand racial justice in this country? Do you want to examine a Christian approach to criminal justice? If so, then we invite you to participate in Mennonite Central Committee's New Jim Crow project, which offers Anabaptist study groups, churches and Sunday school classes the opportunity to learn about mass incarceration in the United States. Using The New Jim Crow: Mass Incarceration in the Age of Colorblindness by Michelle Alexander and a Christian study guide, groups are led through educational materials provided free of charge from MCC. Download this bulletin insert to share about this project with your congregation. |
