The three programs supported by One Great Hour of Sharing - 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.

During Lent, Presbyterian Church (U.S.A.) celebrates God connection with us through Jesus’ resurrection, Matthew 25: 31-46 and One Great Hour of Sharing. One Great Hour of Sharing is the single and largest way that Presbyterians come together to work for a better world by advancing the causes of justice, resilience, and sustainability.

The 202 General Assembly of the Presbyterian Church USA voted to support One Great Hour of Sharing in this manner, 32 percent to Presbyterian Disaster Assistance, 32 percent to Self-Development of People and 36 percent to the Presbyterian Hunger Fund.
