Sewing Kits Needed In many places where MCC works, sewing skills open the door to additional income that can help a family make ends meet. These kits are often given through MCC-supported programs that teach sewing or tailoring and provide the tools to make and mend clothing or to begin a business. MCC is currently in need of 6,000 kits to fill new requests in places like Bosnia and Herzegovina, Iraq, Ukraine, Jordan and Serbia. Consider creating sewing kits with your family and friends. Visit mcc.org/kits for more information.

Responding to Famine and Food Crisis According to the United Nations, the world is facing the largest humanitarian crisis since World War II. More than 20 million people across Yemen, Somalia, South Sudan and northeast Nigeria are facing or are at risk of famine. Mennonite Central Committee is working in some of these countries to provide emergency food assistance and to increase its response to the crisis. However, because of serious conflicts and concerns for safe, unimpeded access for humanitarian assistance, this process is slow and challenging. To donate to MCC's relief fund, which supports MCC's response to this disaster and others, visit mcc.org/learn/what/relief, call 1-888-563-4676 or send a check to MCC, PO Box 500, Akron, PA 17501-0500.
