The Mennonite
Central Committee Meat Canner is coming to Lowville, NY, April 4 & 5 to
can meat for people around the world who are in
need. In this time of worldwide pandemics and refugee emergencies,
you can help bring nourishing food to the places where it is needed
most.
Every year MCC’s
Mobile Meat Canner travels across the United States and Canada meeting
volunteers who prepare cans of turkey, beef, chicken, and pork to be sent
around the world. Over 30,000 people a year volunteer to fill, weigh, wash
and label every can.
Once they're
finished, cans are shipped to our partners, providing important nutrients
when meat is hard to purchase.
Last year 550,440
lbs of canned meat was shipped to Burkina Faso,
Ecuador, Ethiopia, Jordan, Syria, Zambia and the
U.S., including Puerto Rico.
