The Virginia Mennonite Relief Sale is an annual, all-volunteer event held at the Rockingham Co. Fairgrounds in Harrisonburg, VA. This two-day sale features an auction of quilts, woodwork, and handmade items, as well as a wide variety of homemade food. The sale raises money for Mennonite Central Committee (MCC), a worldwide ministry that works to ease oppression, poverty, and conflict through natural disaster relief efforts, community development, and peace work in over 50 countries.
With a strong focus on community and generosity, the Virginia Mennonite Relief Sale brings together individuals from across the region to support MCC's mission. The sale's preliminary figures from last year show that it, along with 27 other relief sales across the US and Canada, donated over $4,574,000 to MCC in 2023. This impressive amount reflects the dedication and hard work of the volunteers and organizers involved in making the sale a success. By attending the sale and participating in the auction, visitors not only have the opportunity to acquire unique handmade items but also contribute to making a positive impact on a global scale.
