A significant part of Mennonite faith is to help the needy. Most Mennonite denominations support relief efforts through an “alphabet soup” of non-profit relief organizations.

Mennonite Relief Organizations

Mennonite Central Committee (MCC) crosses Mennonite denominational boundaries to provide “disaster relief, relief, sustainable community development and justice and peace-building” internationally. MCC’s first task was to assist the Russian Mennonite immigrants to North America in the 1920s. It continues to provide relief efforts around the world, especially by partnering with local organizations.

MCC provides assistance in a many projects around the world. In November 2010 their web site listed projects in 17 African, 12 Asian, 8 European, 10 Latin American and Caribbean, and 7 Middle-East countries, as well as the United States and Canada.
