About the GTA Mennonite Festival
for World Relief
The GTA Mennonite Festival for World Relief supports relief, development and peace around the world through Mennonite Central Committee (MCC). Raising over $1.3 million for MCC since 1967, this annual event brings together volunteers from Mennonite churches and other volunteers from across the Greater Toronto Area for a day of fun in support of a good cause.
Previously held at The Village at Black Creek our new location is at beautiful Willowgrove Farm in Stouffville, Ontario. The sale is held annually on the third Saturday of September.
The Festival is part of a series of relief sales and festivals across Canada and the U.S. The full list of events can be found here.

This fundraising event for MCC helps people like Clara Rodriguez, pictured below. Clara lives in Cuba and suffers from multiple health problems. Cuba is facing intense shortages of both food and hygiene items so when 20,000 kg of MCC relief kits, hygiene kits and canned chicken were distributed in late 2021 it was cause for celebration and thanksgiving.
About MCC
MCC is a global, non-profit organization that strives to share God’s love and compassion through relief, development and peacebuilding.
In all our programs we are committed to relationships with our local partners and churches — their needs guide MCC's priorities.
As an Anabaptist organization, MCC strives to make peace a part of everything we do. When responding to disasters we work with local groups to distribute resources to minimize conflict. In our development work we consult with communities to make sure the projects meet their needs and we advocate for policies that will lead to a more peaceful world.
