It is the single, largest way that Presbyterians come together every year to build God’s household and welcome our neighbors in need around the world by providing relief from natural disasters, food for the hungry, and support for the poor and oppressed. Each gift helps to improve the lives of people in challenging situations through three impactful programs: Presbyterian Disaster Assistance works alongside communities as they recover and find hope after the devastation of natural caused disasters. Presbyterian Hunger Program takes action to alleviate hunger and the systemic causes of poverty so all may be fed. Self-development of people invests in communities responding to their experience of racism, oppression, poverty and injustice, and educates Presbyterians about the impact of these societal ills. Through One Great Hour of Sharing, we not only help improve the lives of people in these challenging situations, we respond directly to the needs God has called us to fulfill in Matthew 25.
