Lowville Meat Canning Report
Ukraine
MCC partner Believing, Hoping, Loving provides canned meat and other resources to approximately 7,000 orphans and people who have been internally displaced in order to improve their living conditions and provide greater access to food.
During the ongoing conflict and economic crisis, millions of Ukrainians have been forced to flee their homes, seeking safety in other regions of Ukraine or abroad. Many people, particularly those who have lost their homes and belongings, need food and other humanitarian assistance.
​
Thank you for working with MCC as we distribute nutritious food to people worldwide Most of the internationally shipped meat canned in Lowville in 2024 is being shared in Ukraine.
​
Together, Lowville canning volunteers, MCC canning staff, and Believing, Hoping, Loving are the hands and feet of Christ, sharing God's love and compassion with displaced people in Ukraine Thank you!
