TUCC will be partnering with the Mennonite Central Committee in their meat canning operation the week of April 2. Contact Stephanie or Carl Shannon if you would like to participate.

Every year MCC’s Mobile Meat Canner travels across the United States and Canada meeting volunteers who prepare cans of turkey, beef, chicken and pork to be sent around the world. Over 30,000 people a year volunteer to fill, weigh, wash and label every can.
The finished cans are shipped to our partners, providing important nutrients when meat is hard to purchase.
For example, in the Democratic People’s Republic of Korea (DPRK, or North Korea), where meat is scarce, MCC shares canned meat with our partners to supplement meals for children as well as patients with tuberculosis or hepatitis.
579,643 pounds of canned meat shipped last year to Burundi, Ethiopia, Lebanon, Nicaragua, Democratic Republic of Korea (North Korea), Ukraine and the U.S.
