Meat Canning

Each year since 1946, MCC has sent out a mobile meat canner, which MCC workers and volunteers use to preserve hundreds of thousands of cans of meat for communities in need across the globe. This year, a four-person crew will visit 13 U.S. states and two Canadian provinces during the canning season, which runs from October through April. This year's canning crew includes, from left to right, George Wieler Jr., of Wheatley, Ont.; Peter Reimer, of Tolstoi, Man., Steven Bricker, of Chambersburg, Pa.; and Ryun Lawrence of Goessel, Kan.
