Support One Great Hour of Sharing

Recent strong earthquakes have affected the nations of Chile and Haiti. Your generous gifts to the One Great Hour of Sharing offering allow an immediate response to disasters such as these.

PDA is responding in Chile: Presbyterian Disaster Assistance is working with our ecumenical partner Church World Service (CWS) in Chile to provide basic humanitarian assistance and to help local partners in assessing the needs.

PDA continues to respond to the needs of the disaster affected population in Haiti.

Volunteers Needed

Conklin Presbyterian Church, New York, volunteers helped in Iowa following flooding

Nearly two years after flooding devastated much of eastern Iowa, rebuilding continues in cities and towns around the area. Your help is needed.

This spring, PDA will participate with Church World Service (CWS) in hosting a six-week ecumenical work project in Cedar Rapids, working with local organizations to help at least 10 families return home. Project dates are weekly from April 11 through May 22. Let’s show the world how people of faith, working side-by-side, can make great things happen for our neighbors in need.
