-HELP IRAQIS THROUGH MCC: As armed conflict forces Iraqis from their
homes, MCC is providing vital items for daily life and is planning an ongoing
response. MCC also is calling on U.S. lawmakers to oppose military intervention in
Iraq and instead to send humanitarian aid. Please help us reach a goal of 12,000
hygiene kits and 3,000 relief kits for uprooted Iraqis and others in the region. Gifts
of money support MCC's efforts with partners in Iraq to both respond quickly and
continue long-term efforts that build peace. More info is available online at
mcc.org/get-involved/kits and donate.mcc.org/iraq or by calling 1-888-563-4676.
The Action Alert at mcc.org/advocate-iraq provides a simple way to contact your
representatives and the president. Thank you for partnering with MCC to help
uprooted people and for your ongoing prayers for peace in the region.
