New Hamburg Mennonite Relief Sale

06/02/2026

You showed up. And look what happened. 💛

Because of the incredible generosity of this community, this year’s New Hamburg Mennonite Relief Sale raised $350,000 for MCC’s work around the world.

To every volunteer, sponsor, donor, vendor, quilter, organizer and attendee, thank you.

Thank you for the early mornings, the long hours, the quilts, the meals, the conversations, the donations and the countless acts of generosity that made this weekend possible.

Whether you helped behind the scenes, bid on a quilt, served food, ran in the Run for Relief, volunteered your time or simply came to be part of it, you helped make a difference.

This weekend was about more than food, quilts and community. It was about coming together to support people in need around the world.

Thank you for making the 2026 New Hamburg Mennonite Relief Sale one to remember. We’ll see you next year. 💛

The 2026 feature quilt "Fifth Time's The Charm" by Joyce Richardson! How many one-inch square pieces did she hand stitch to make this quilt? Hint: the winning bid paid $1 per piece! Plus, the winning bid was MATCHED by a generous donor!

Some weekends just feel familiar. 💛

The New Hamburg Mennonite Relief Sale is where old friends reconnect, new friendships begin and traditions continue year after year.

For many, it’s more than an event. It’s a day filled with community, conversation, good food and memories that keep people coming back.

Today’s your last chance to experience it. 💛

You know those events where you stop by for “just an hour” and somehow end up staying all day? That’s the New Hamburg Mennonite Relief Sale.

One minute you’re grabbing fries. The next you’re watching the quilt auction, browsing the Treasure Trove and Work & Play auctions, shopping handmade and thrift finds, exploring Indigenous crafts, picking up plants or letting the kids enjoy the activities. There’s always something else to discover.

Whether you come for the food, the auctions, the shopping or simply to spend time with people you love, this is the kind of weekend people come back for every year.
📍 Today at the New Hamburg Fairgrounds
⏰ 7:30 a.m. – 2:30 p.m.
See you there. 💛

A special thank you to Fire & Safety Ltd, Plumbing, and 's Fine Food for helping make this year's relief sale possible.
