Alternative giving
Disasters, whether natural or human-caused, can devastate communities. In most cases homes, businesses and infrastructure are destroyed or damaged. Many lives are lost, and many more are disrupted.
Assistance from Presbyterians helps provide for basic humanitarian needs. Food, water, medicine, shelter, and other critical supplies bring hope to a struggling community.
Over the years, many individuals and congregations have requested projects for alternative giving and/or other special giving opportunities to help disaster survivors.
Presbyterian Disaster Assistance has identified some areas where additional funds are needed and has provided realistic estimates of the cost to meet specific needs. After any disaster, the needs of vulnerable people determine the appropriate response. Presbyterian partners and presbyteries in recovery areas use your gifts to meet those needs. Actual costs depend on local markets and the country where recovery work is being done.
Please consider alternative giving as an opportunity to share the gift of God's love. Giving projects are highlighted in the Alternative Giving brochure, which can be downloaded and printed.
