Every gift, whatever the amount, is part of the work
Give what feels right to you. A single gift, a monthly commitment, or something you would like to talk through with us — all of it goes to the same place: the daily care of the Mennonite Family Centre in Zaporizhzhya.
We do not send fundraising appeals. We simply keep doing the work, and share it with you twice a year in the Beacon of Hope.
— Where your money goes
“All donations to the Mennonite Benevolent Society are applied to the Ukraine Ministries program and the modest Administration costs associated with this program.”
— From the MBS donations policy
The Mennonite Family Centre is the Society's main program today. Gifts you designate for Concordia Hospital, Bethania or another Canadian charity go where you direct them.
