Dear Friend,
The Idaho Mennonite World Relief Festival Board is currently planning the eighteenth annual Idaho Mennonite World Relief Festival for Saturday, April 20, 2024. We are seeking your help again this year with a unique donation as we continue to support Mennonite Central Committee (MCC). It has been a wonderful seventeen years, so let’s make it a success again in 2024!
Please consider providing a donation of a quilted or non-quilted high-quality item or items. Any contribution or donation that you could provide would be helpful. We are seeking quilts, comforters, afghans, hand-crafted items, antiques, newly built or unique furniture, gift certificates, and get-away experiences. We will also be accepting gently used items and baked goods, so feel free to contact us concerning these items as well. Please complete the contribution form enclosed in this letter, and contact one of the persons listed below if you are planning to make a donation. We will need to photograph your item and post it on our auction website by Mar. 25, so keep that date in mind as you contribute. *Note: For copyright and best practices purposes, we are asking all donors to seek permission as needed, and to give credit to any person or entity when using a published pattern for the homemade item such as a quilt or piece of furniture. Please include this information when submitting your item.
Arrangements will be made to collect your donation before the festival event as needed. **If you have a contribution of any type, please notify a contact person below by Mar. 15, 2024.

The Idaho Mennonite World Relief Festival has donated over $710,000 to MCC for world relief in the last seventeen years. The goal of the 2024 festival is to add to this total and to send as much of the proceeds as possible from the event to MCC. We are counting on your donations to help. It will be our pleasure to promote your item(s) at the festival. Thank you in advance for your support!
Sincerely,
Rick Bollman
Idaho Mennonite World Relief Festival Chairperson
