Are you wondering how you can help with the flood recovery?
Menno Place was founded in 1953 by a group of people from the Mennonite faith. During the first half of the 20th century, the Mennonite people were very actively starting new endeavours. One of these was founded 100 years ago (1921) to help Mennonite people escape the horrors of the Russian Revolution. The organization is called Mennonite Central Committee. It is dedicated to helping people by responding to basic human needs and working for peace and justice. For many, the word “relief” is a good description of the work that MCC does in communities around the globe.
At this time, we need “relief” – right here in Abbotsford, BC.
If you would like to donate to a trusted organization who provides 93% of every dollar to the cause, please check out MCC’s support efforts for the people impacted by this catastrophic flood: CLICK HERE

As a caregiver or healthcare worker, you can pass on the flu virus to those at high risk.
A new flu vaccine is created every year to protect you during flu season.
Why get a flu shot every year?
- The flu virus changes from year to year
- The effectiveness of the flu shot can wear off, so you need a new one every year to stay protected

Coping Through a Natural Disaster Emergency
The rain and flooding over the past week has been devastating for many of our team members at Menno Place. Coping through a natural disaster can be very difficult. People are dealing with their own losses and may also be supporting other people such as their children, neighbours and friends. This Information sheet from the Canadian Mental Health Association has tips for sustaining your own mental health and helping others. You can download the sheet by clicking on the preview below.
Please remember to call our FSEAP if you need immediate support and/or counselling to help you through this time. They are available 24/7/365 by calling 1.800.667.0993.
