Making a difference in the worst of times

For a century, MCC has worked in the name of Christ to make a difference in the worst of times. The photo above, from 1947-48, shows soup being served at a school in Germany as part of our relief efforts after World War II.

Read "In times of crisis," an article in the Winter 2020 issue of MCC's magazine A Common Place. Photos, examples and quotes show how MCC has shared God's love and compassion during times of emergencies over the past century.

"Your willingness and eagerness to share your blessings . . . the thousands of tons of food, clothing, shoes, soap, medicines and tools . . . it has rekindled hope, faith and interest and created new purpose and courage for the future."
