The three programs supported by One Great Hour of Sharing (OGHS) – Presbyterian Disaster Assistance, the Presbyterian Hunger Program, and Self-Development of People – all work in different ways to serve individuals and communities in need. From initial disaster response to ongoing community development, their work fits together to provide people with safety, sustenance, and hope.
Works alongside communities as they recover and find hope after natural or human-caused disasters.
Takes action to alleviate hunger and the systemic causes of poverty so all may be fed.
Invests in communities responding to their experiences of racism, oppression, poverty and injustice.

OGHS for Children and their Families
There are some fun learning tools for children, including a calendar designed to create awareness in bite-sized (daily) pieces of needs around the world and some of the way small and large that we may be of help. “Fishbanks” (ready to be colored and assembled) provide a place to collect money for the offering that will be collected on Palm Sunday. OGHS fishbanks and calendars are available in Fellowship Hall and the Godly Play classroom.
