Can I designate our OGHS to a specific disaster?

We ask that you prayerfully think of the OGHS offering as a time when you give in complete faith so that we might respond to ministry opportunities and needs as they unfold in the coming year.

For Presbyterian Disaster Assistance, designated giving is usually only for a specific disaster and we honor all designated giving. One Great Hour of Sharing funds enable our ongoing work — in training and development, refugee work, and responding to disasters that do not receive the bright lights of television cameras — and make this ministry strong.

How are the funds divided?

One Great Hour of Sharing funds are divided equally among its three programs: Presbyterian Disaster Assistance, Self-Development of People, and Presbyterian Hunger Program.

Can I change the way the offering is divided?

Churches and individuals can change the percentage distribution of the offering between the three programs if they wish. The following are the special Account numbers used for program designated One Great Hour of Sharing receipts.

OG100000 - Presbyterian Disaster Assistance
OG200000 - Self Development of People
OG300000 - Presbyterian Hunger Program

Where can I find additional information on OGHS?

Mission Education & Promotion produces the resources for PC(USA) special offerings. Visit the One Great Hour of Sharing web site for additional and promotional information.
