One Great Hour of Sharing

One Great Hour of Sharing is one of the oldest special offerings in our church. Since 1949 Presbyterians have joined with Christians throughout the nation in supporting One Great Hour of Sharing, responding to Christ's love for all people by joyfully sharing that love with people in need. The refugee and the stranger have found food and safe shelter; those stunned by the aftermath of disasters have found relief and help rebuilding; and communities seeking to take control of their future have found partners in develop­ment. The Presbyterian Hunger Program receives 36 percent of undesignated One Great Hour ofiSharing gifts, while the Self-Development of People and Presbyterian Disaster Assistance each receives 32 percent. The hundreds of millions of dollars Presbyterians have given over the last half century have enabied a powerful witness to the love of the One who came that all might have life more abundantly.
