About NMRS

The persons promoting the Northern Michigan Relief Sale are doing so for serious reasons. While human suffering cannot be entirely eliminated, much can be done to alleviate it through donated items and the efforts of volunteers.

The purpose of the sale is to help the hungry, the homeless, the war torn, the sick, the handicapped, and the illiterate, in the “NAME OF CHRIST.” Monies raised will be channeled through the Mennonite Central Committee — the cooperative relief and service agency for Mennonite and Brethren in Christ church groups.

Northern Michigan Relief Sale, 1st Saturday in August

Since our first sale in 1966, the Northern Michigan Relief Sale has been raising funds to support the projects and programs of Mennonite Central Committee, a worldwide ministry of Anabaptist churches. MCC shares God’s love and compassion for all in the name of Christ by responding to basic human needs and working for peace and justice. The sale is one of 43 relief sale events in the U.S. and Canada that together raise over five million dollars annually. The sale is made possible with the help of many volunteers who contribute their time and resources.

MCC, founded in 1920, has over 1,000 people in service in 58 countries around the world and throughout North America in a variety of programs. Because MCC is a largely volunteer organization, nearly 93% of MCC funds reach those in need. Find out more about Mennonite Central Committee and its mission to relieve worldwide suffering.
