Relief Canning Kidron, Inc. Kidron, OH
Welcome to Relief Canning, Inc., Kidron (Non-Profit)
Mennonite Central Committee recently reported a staggering figure: 4 billion people are at risk of hunger as food prices rise beyond their reach. This Spring, the price of rice has doubled, reports the World Food Program. Global food prices have risen 40% in nine months and 80% in three years. ABC TV reported that every 4 seconds a child dies from hunger.This crisis has varied causes: Cost of fuel, poor weather, political unrest or loss of financial security. We too, in North America, feel the pinch of inflation at the grocery store and the fuel pump. But our complaints fade in comparison to the World's poor. LOVE and COMPASSION -- how can we show it, how can we share it?

Mennonite Central Committee has ministered to the hungry and needy (2006) in 26 different countries, distributing over 700,000 cans of turkey. Here in our community (2007) of northern Ohio we distributed over 1200 cans of turkey; and in 2008, over 1900 cans to hunger centers. Over 18,000 cans of turkey were distributed in Peru and S. America following the earthquake. This is given with other foods and grains.
