Sending food to DR Congo
Ngalula Ilunga remembers the day violence came to her village in the Democratic Republic of the Congo. She says, "I ran toward the bush and a group of men chased me ... I discovered that my husband and some of my children were missing." With your support we're providing emergency food to people displaced by the violence. Learn more about our response and how your gifts are making a difference for people like Ngalula.
Supporting the immigrant community in Tampa
"I believe churches engage in immigration work because it is simply the right thing to do. Even throughout biblical history, there have been countless stories of foreigners in a strange land who were there for a purpose. It is no different in this day and age," states Cindy Cumberbatch, an attorney working for an MCC-supported immigration program in Florida. Read more about our partnership with College Hill Mennonite Church.
