Buckets of Thanks relief kit updates
Track a relief kit's journey.
This Thanksgiving, you've shown your gratitude and inspired hope for those in need across the globe by sharing a Bucket of Thanks.
Our local partners in Jordan will distribute relief buckets just like the one you filled to Syrian refugee families in Jordan and vulnerable Jordanians who have been displaced due to conflict and disaster.
But before they are received, the buckets undergo quite the journey...And this year, you're invited to come along!

Imagine having your predictable daily routine disrupted by bombs and gunfire and losing all sense of control and safety for your family. Imagine going to bed hungry, worrying about where your next meal will come from or if your water supply is safe for your children to drink.

This is the experience of millions of refugees around the world.

Peace & Justice Office Frequently Asked Questions
How do you define advocacy?
To us advocacy means working to change government policies that contribute to poverty, injustice, violence and oppression in Canada and around the world. We see advocacy as an essential part of achieving MCC’s mission of relief, development and peacebuilding.
Advocacy
In order to do our work of relief, development and peacebuilding, it’s important that MCC addresses policies that contribute to poverty and injustice. Advocacy is how we do that.
Our advocacy work is rooted in the understanding that we are called by God to be a voice with and for the poor, oppressed and marginalized. We take our inspiration from the biblical witness of Moses, Esther, John the Baptist, the prophets and Jesus himself.
