Mennonite Central Committee (Saskatchewan)
Mennonite Central Committee (Saskatchewan), registered under the business number 107690901RR0001, is a Canadian nonprofit organization that operates as part of the wider Mennonite Central Committee (MCC) network. It focuses on building healthy communities, families, and relationships within the province of Saskatchewan, guided by principles of biblical peace and justice, particularly emphasizing work with youth.
History and Background
Mennonite Central Committee was originally established in 1920 to provide aid to families suffering from famine and disease in southern Russia (modern-day Ukraine). This humanitarian focus soon broadened to include relief and development efforts worldwide. MCC Canada was formally founded in 1963 in Winnipeg through the merger of several regional Mennonite service organizations, including the Saskatchewan branch. This unification enabled more efficient coordination of Mennonite relief work across Canada.
The Saskatchewan provincial MCC operates alongside similar MCC agencies in British Columbia, Alberta, Manitoba, and Ontario, with the national office managing operations in Quebec and Atlantic Canada. MCC Saskatchewan's work is rooted in the Mennonite and Brethren in Christ churches, reflecting a history of ecumenical collaboration within the Canadian Mennonite community.
Mission and Activities
MCC Saskatchewan dedicates itself to fostering community health and social justice within the province. Its initiatives are informed by Mennonite values such as peacebuilding and service, with a focus on engaging youth in these efforts. The organization participates in local relief, development, and educational projects to support vulnerable populations.
MCC’s support base primarily consists of individuals connected to the church communities it represents. Funding comes from donations, relief sales, thrift shops, and contributions of foodgrains. This grassroots support structure has been a hallmark of MCC’s work in Canada, famously described as "a people’s movement" with deep local loyalty.
Organizational Structure
As part of the national and international MCC network, MCC Saskatchewan operates provincially under the umbrella of Mennonite Central Committee Canada. It collaborates closely with other provincial MCC offices and maintains ties to the international MCC organization, collectively working on humanitarian and peace initiatives globally and locally.
Mennonite Central Committee (Saskatchewan) exemplifies the Mennonite commitment to relief, development, and peace efforts through local action aligned with global Mennonite humanitarian work.[1][2][3][4][5]
