One Great Hour of Sharing

For over 70 years, One Great Hour of Sharing has provided Presbyterians a way to share God’s love with our neighbors in need around the world. This year’s designated program is Disaster Relief-International Refugee Programs. This designated account supplements the One Great Hour of Sharing (OGHS) offering to enable a significant response for humanitarian efforts to assist international refugees and internally displaced persons (IDPs) – specifically for Ukraine. (Please note the beautiful sunflower painted by Kathi Wilson in honor of the people of Ukraine.)
