Lancaster Mennonite Middle School: MCC Hygiene Kits.
LMMS students and faculty are collecting items to make hygiene kits for Mennonite Central Committee (MCC) this holiday season. MCC is in urgent need of 8,000 hygiene kits in order to respond to multiple crisis situations around the world. Making these kits is an active, hands-on way for students to follow in Jesus’ footsteps, sharing God’s love and compassion with others in need.
Additionally, as a way to keep us aware of local needs, LMMS students are creating care packages for students and families among us who are experiencing a significant change in circumstance or hardship this Christmas.

Families took a “Virtual Mission Trip about World Poverty” that was sent home in a small manila folder with quick activities for each of the 50 days.
