3CM is a Canadian nonprofit registered charitable organization set up to assist those in need locally as well as in developing countries. It was started in 1997 by three families that wanted others to experience a thrill they discovered. Where many good and reputable societies request your funds so that they may assist people in foreign settings, we at 3CM welcome you to join with us to experience first hand what your abilities can accomplish in the areas of housing, medical, and every day practical things that we take for granted. If you absolutely cannot come, we will regretfully accept your money instead... 3CM is based on Christian principles as it says in Isaiah 58 and Matthew 25 to "divide your bread with the hungry ...bring the homeless poor into your house". We at 3CM want to do everything possible to facilitate your hand reaching theirs. We help them -- they teach us. Since 2007 our focus has been on a leadership development program called Project Moses in Honduras.
