MPC Social Services, working in conjunction with the United Nations Refugee Agency (UNHCR), has been helping those in most need in Moscow including United Nations refugees, pensioners, single mothers and children for more than 20 years, ensuring access to food, medical consultation, clothing and shelter.

 

MPC Social Services began serving Moscow in 1991, and was officially registered as a charity in 2008. It is outgrowth of the charitable work of the English speaking, interdenominational Moscow Protestant Chaplaincy, which has been in Moscow since 1962 under an international agreement with the Soviet Union. MPC Social Services is a non-religious charity, legally separate from the Moscow Protestant Chaplaincy.

In November 1991, MPC began several soup kitchens in Moscow. Programs over the years have been created and expanded according to the ever-changing needs of the community we serve, the poor and marginalized in Moscow that are living in Russia without a strength social network to ensure basic need of safety, security, and health. Russian pensioners, women and children, and economic migrants refugees receive care including access to food, medical consultation, clothing and shelter. Currently, our community includes Russian, Afghans, and Africans (ranging from Nigeria to Madagascar) and speaks as many languages, including English, Russian, French,

and Dari.
