Knowing that millions have to live like this should break our hearts--and open our wallets. |
Sharing our Surplus was an effort to encourage more of the 10,000 who attend the sale, but who don't take part in the annual auction, to make a donation to Mennonite Central Committee for relief needs via cash, check or credit card.
The result this year was a largest ever net sale income of $350,606.04, compared to last year's near record of $322,505.57.
Let's pray that next year, in light of desperate and growing world relief needs, we can double that amount. Or maybe reach a $1 million.
Meanwhile, we can each contribute directly to Mennonite Central Committee online or send a much needed check today to MCC, 21 South 12th Street, P.O. Box 500, Akron, PA 17501-0500.
