December 12 & 13  A Child’s Hope International

For the past 12 years, MCC has partnered with A Child’s Hope International to pack life-saving meals through Hands Against Hunger, fighting food insecurity locally and globally. This year’s goal is 200,300 meals, enough to provide over 600 children with consistent meals throughout 2026. Each meal brings hope and a future. Join us by signing up for one of the three packing dates or by giving to support this effort. When giving online, please write Hands Against Hunger in the memo.
