Ohio MCC Comforter Bash
Mennonite Central Committee will hold the second annual Ohio MCC Comforter Bash on Friday and Saturday, April 21-22, in the recreation building at the Kidron Community Park, 4434 Kidron Road, Kidron.
Everyone is invited to knot comforters for Mennonite Central Committee at this event. A handmade comforter provides not only warmth but also a tangible message to people that their needs are not forgotten. MCC will distribute the comforters to people in need around the world.
The Comforter Bash will be held from 10 a.m. to 8 p.m. on Friday, April 21, and from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. on Saturday, April 22. This is a drop-in event; volunteers are invited to come and go as their schedules allow.
Comforter tops and backs are needed for this event. MCC invites you to make comforter tops (60″ x 80″) and backs (65″ x 85″) for use at the Comforter Bash. Comforter tops and backs should be dropped off by March 10 at the MCC Material Resources Center in Kidron, 4080 Kidron Road, Kidron.
Ohio Mennonite Relief Sale
The 2021 Ohio Mennonite Relief Sale will take place Aug. 6-7 at the Wayne County Fairgrounds in Wooster. Please see the event brochure for details.
Ohio Mennonite Relief Sale Auction
Due to the uncertainty COVID-19 has brought to our lives, the Ohio Mennonite Relief Sale Board has decided to hold an online auction only rather than a physical event and auction this year. Many auctions of all types have been cancelled or at least postponed.
Plans are to still offer items from the quilt and wood auctions, as well as silent auction items, kids auction items and many other items.
To give quilters, crafters and craftsmen additional time, the relief sale board has moved back the dates of the event from the traditional first weekend in August. Sewing circles have not been able to meet to prepare quilts, and event organizers have not been able to collect furniture and other items yet. Normally, this process is well underway by May.
The 2019 sale also included an online auction, so many things are already in place to hold an online auction. There will be “Buy It Now” items available to buy from Sept. 14 to 24, as well as the online auction from Sept. 26 to Oct. 3. Details are still being worked out and will be updated as information is available.
For more information, see the news release from the Ohio Mennonite Relief Sale Board.
