About Mennonite Central Committee British Columbia:

MCCBC grants a significant portion of its revenues to Mennonite Central Committee Canada (MCC Canada), which is active in providing relief and services in the developing world. In F2016, MCCBC granted $3.8 million to MCC Canada and spent $1.8 million on its own programs.

In F2016, MCCBC shipped $296,772 of material aid for its Disaster Relief program.
