With the outbreak of World War II in 1939, the Mennonites of Western Canada began the organization of provincial relief committees. In January 1940 meetings were held in [[Altona (Manitoba, Canada)|Altona, Manitoba]], Coaldale, Alberta, and Yarrow, British Columbia. These meetings appointed provincial committees, each of which delegated two representatives to a meeting on 15 March 1940 in Winnipeg, Manitoba, which in turn formed a central executive committee known as the Mennonite Central Relief Committee. Officers from the beginning to 1957 were [[Janz, Benjamin B. (1877-1964)|B. B. Janz]], chairman, [[Thiessen, Jacob Johann "J. J." (1893-1977)|J. J. Thiessen]] vice-chairman, [[DeFehr, Cornelius A. (1881-1979) |C. A. DeFehr]] treasurer. Up to about 1954 all the committee funds were sent to the [[Mennonite Central Committee (International)|Mennonite Central Committee]]. After that most of the contributions were sent directly to committee-supported projects in [[Paraguay|Paraguay]]. The committee appointed a regular member to the MCC.
