Care & Share Thrift Shoppes gave $900,000 to Mennonite Central Committee (MCC) in 2017 THANKS to generous donors, energetic shoppers and enthusiastic volunteers!
All our volunteers contribute to the heartbeat of Care & Share! Recently we celebrated an elite group we refer to as the “Super Stars”. These 80 special volunteers each donated between 300 - 1,700 hours in 2017, contributing to the 112,000 total volunteer hours in 2017.
Bruce Campbell Janz, MCC East Coast Executive Director, accepted our $900,000 donation. Bruce shared how these funds will be used by MCC from programs in Philadelphia to DR Congo to Haiti to North Korea. MCC is a worldwide ministry of Anabaptist churches, sharing God’s love and compassion for all in the name of Christ by responding to basic human needs and working for peace and justice. MCC envisions communities worldwide in right relationship with God, one another and creation.
Since 1976, Care & Share has donated over $16 million to MCC.
