Operation: Cooperation



The City of Cambridge has joined "Operation: Cooperation" in assisting MCC with relief kits

As the devastation from the Haiti earthquake continues to unfold Mennonite Central Committee (MCC) is undertaking a multimillion dollar, multiyear response to provide emergency assistance and long-term rebuilding and trauma support.

Now through February 28, MCC is asking for 20,000 relief kits. Relief kits provide valuable supplies to families traumatized by the earthquake.
