One time a year in the spring. 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. Four canner operators travel with the meat canner to 34 different locations across the US and Canada and help the volunteers at each location.

MCC is a global, nonprofit organization that strives to share God’s love and compassion for all through relief, development and peace. You can learn more at their website.

As we near the next yearly canning time we will invite people to volunteer on our website, through our newsletter (so make sure to sign up), and on Facebook.

Beyond canning meat there are other things to do. Head up to the Manor House at Maple Ridge to help tie comforters or pack hygiene kits for MCC. These comforters and hygiene kits will go all around the world to help those affected by war, natural disasters, and poverty.
