One Great Hour of Sharing

It's remarkable what your gift can do!

Jesus took the bread in his hands and gave thanks to God. Then he passed the bread to the people, and he did the same with the fish, until everyone had plenty to eat. (John 6:11 CEV)  

 One great hour of sharing

North American Christians have long sought to ease the plight of the poorest of the poor. For more than fifty years One Great Hour of Sharing has made development aid, disaster relief and refugee resettlement assistance possible in more than 70 countries around the world.

Through One Great Hour of Sharing, both giver and receiver benefit. Empowered communities develop viable solutions to our planet’s relentless problems and share their struggles and triumphs with the wider world.

By this work, all are enriched as God’s people strive to do justice, love kindness, and walk humbly with their God.
