One Great Hour of Sharing (OGHS) is a cornerstone of United Church of Christ’s mission:
*OGHS supports global refugees working to reach new homes and build new lives.
*OGHS addresses emergency needs arising from hurricanes, floods, fires, earthquakes.
*OGHS develops sustainable resources and skills among communities (both domestic and international) weakened by chronic poverty or climate challenges.
*OGHS works in long-standing partnerships with denominations such as Christian Church (Disciples of Christ), Presbyterian Church (USA), Church of the Brethren, and with ecumenical alliances such as Church World Service.

Now more than ever, our partnerships are essential and cherished.
Now more than ever, our assistance is crucial to support the homeless, the hungry, the victims of war.
Now more than ever, it is our privilege to offer tangible support which saves lives.

Give as you are able. Be the face of God’s love in the world. Thank you.
