The Rocky Mountain Mennonite Relief sale is a joint effort of over 30 Mennonite and Brethren in Christ congregations in Colorado, New Mexico, and West Texas.  All labor is volunteered, and most sale items are donated.  All proceeds from the sale go directly to the Mennonite Central Committee (MCC).
