2025 Arthur Mennonite Relief Sale
August 22 & 23
at The Otto Center, Arthur, IL
Since the first sale was held in 1962, The Arthur Mennonite Relief Sale has been a collaborative effort that involves dedicated volunteers and attracts thousands of attendees. Together, they work to raise funds to support the work of Mennonite Central Committee, as well as local organizations. The event serves as a platform aimed at providing aid and relief to individuals and communities in need. The sale has become a longstanding tradition that not only contributes to charitable efforts but also serves as a unifying force, bringing people together in the name of Christ. Let us be the hands and feet of Jesus!
We are thankful and blessed by the continued support of this sale!
May the funds raised bring honor and glory to God as we work towards bringing peace, hope, and relief to those in our communities and around the world.
