A decision by Mennonite Central Committee (MCC) Canada to relocate its central warehouse operations out of Plum Coulee and into Ontario is going to have a significant impact on local volunteers.
MCC Canada and MCC Manitoba have jointly operated distribution of relief supplies and volunteer activities out of the warehouse in Plum Coulee since 2004. MCC Canada uses the building as a central depot to collect and store materials donated to MCC from across western Canada to be shipped out for relief efforts around the world.
