Join Kyle Rudge as he visits one of the Great Winter Warm-up locations at North Kildonan Mennonite Brethren Church, Winnipeg. As comforters are being tied and sewn, Kyle visits with staff and participants to collect many touching memories of MCC's impact over the past 100 years. Featured speakers include Sophia Bezoplenko, Allison Zacharias, Darryl Loewen, Wesley Bisset Ncube, Elfrieda Dick and many others.
To kick-off MCC's Centennial year, the Great Winter Warm-up was held across North America (and even a few locations in Europe) on January 18th, 2020. The event exceeded its goal of 6,500 comforters and as of January 30th collected a grand total of 8,200 comforters. These colourful and warm comforters will be delivered to families who have been displaced by conflict or disaster.
