Midwest Mission Distribution Center

MMDC provides opportunities for individuals and groups from all walks of life, denominational backgrounds, abilities, and ages to help provide disaster relief kits and resources as well as educational and medical supplies to those in need both locally and internationally. MMDC provides a “hands on” mission experience.

When volunteers come, there are a number of projects that they may be involved in. Volunteers pack kits, sort items, sew school bags, hospital gowns, and quilts. Volunteers box goods, help with mailings, build crates and desks, repair bicycles and sewing machines, help unload items, fill shipping containers, organize materials, and whatever the needs are at any given time. There are opportunities for those with special skills, trades, and those at peak abilities, as well as opportunities for individuals who may be more limited. No matter what your abilities, there is an important job that needs you!

What is MMDC ?

Volunteers and donors are vital to the mission of MMDC. MMDC is a non-profit organization and receives 100% of its funding from private donors. MMDC works solely on the kindness and generosity of individuals, families, churches, organizations, and communities. The work done at Midwest could not be done by the staff members alone. MMDC thrives because there is a constant stream of individuals and groups that want to be a part of this ministry and who choose to come and serve.

The mission of the Midwest Mission Distribution Center is to compassionately help God’s people in need locally, nationally, and around the world and to offer a center to fulfill the call for service to our neighbors in Christ’s name.

Midwest Mission Distribution Center is a disaster relief facility located on an 8 acre campus, 4 miles south of Springfield, Illinois. Construction began in October of 1999 and opened for ministry in the year 2000. MMDC is a caring ministry related to the Illinois Great Rivers Conference and the North Central Jurisdiction of the United Methodist Church. MMDC is also a cooperating depot in the UMCOR (United Methodist Committee on Relief) Relief Supply Network as of January 2010.
