Each year in Canada and the United States, thousands of volunteers come together to raise money for MCC for the relief of suffering in the world. Over $5.5 million was raised in 2007 with an average of 85 percent sent to the field.

These festivals/auctions offer a little bit of everything - quilts, artwork, crafted woodwork, homemade foods, antiques and crafts. Often there is music and lots of fun activities for kids including an auction just for them.
