Since
1949, Presbyterians have joined with millions of other Christians through One
Great Hour of Sharing to share God’s love with people experiencing need.
Our gifts support ministries of disaster response, refugee assistance
and resettlement, and community development that help people find safe refuge,
start new lives, and work together to strengthen their families and communities.
Recognizing that the hope we
have in Christ is lived out in our hope for one another, we
respond with gifts that help our sisters and brothers around
the world find the hope for a brighter future.
Where does the money go?
The Presbyterian Hunger Program receives 36 percent of undesignated
One Great Hour of Sharing gifts, while the Self-Development
of People and Presbyterian Disaster Assistance each receives
32 percent.
When is the offering received?
Most congregations receive the offering on Easter Sunday, Palm
Sunday, or both, while many receive it throughout Lent.
