Our story

West Coast Mennonite Relief Sale (WCMRS) is a group of Mennonite and Anabaptist churches on the West Coast working together to raise money and support for the relief, development and peace work of Mennonite Central Committee (MCC).


Come bring the whole family: there is plenty of food, great desserts, and more. You can bid on a quilt in a live auction or, if you're shy, bid in the silent auction. There's an early morning 5k run/walk or you can join the kids in a scavenger hunt. There's a Country Store, an Art Show, and all the Used Books you can read.  What's more: a Tauga tent, music on the Green and additional activities. Then there's always time for a reunion: family, MCC Alumni, or just friends. The WCMRS only happens once a year so don't miss it.


Admission is free and so is the parking.


Your donations enable MCC to accomplish its mission: sharing God’s love and compassion for all in the name of Christ.


WCMRS is a 501(c)(3) tax-deductible charitable organization and in 2018 we raised $171,000 for the work of MCC.
