One Great Hour of Sharing - Housing is a Human Right

Housing is a Human Right “Why?” wondered Adrian Alberto Madriz. Why were his neighbors in Miami living in unsafe housing in one of the richest cities in the richest country in the world? Why were “forgotten neighborhoods” being allowed to fall into neglect while landlords avoided prosecution? Adrian decided to take action. And that’s when SMASH — Struggle for Miami's Affordable and Sustainable Housing, was born. SMASH, supported by gifts to One Great Hour of Sharing, is the first community land trust and affordable housing cooperative in Liberty City, Florida, to make housing a human right. Read more about SMASH, and how our gifts make a difference. Centered in the prophet Micah’s call to do justice, One Great Hour of Sharing has been helping neighbors in need around the world for over 75 years. The annual Offering gives the PC(USA) a tangible way to share God’s love by joining together to help eliminate the root causes of the world’s injustices.

Special Offerings - Rebuilding Lives and Restoring Hope in South Sudan

Rebuilding Lives and Restoring Hope in South Sudan As a girl in South Sudan, Mama Nyaiar had a good life until civil war broke out in 2013, exposing her to unimaginable horrors. All around her, countless lives were lost to the armed conflict. Among them were her father and nearly all of her nine siblings. As Mama and her family fell deeper into desperation and hopelessness, “hope” reentered their lives in the form of Hope Restoration South Sudan, a nationally registered, women-founded and women-led non-governmental organization that is a partner of the Presbyterian Church (U.S.A.) To learn more about Hope Restoration South Sudan, and how our gifts to One Great Hour of Sharing not only bring hope, but saves lives, please read this story. Read the full story about Hope Restoration South Sudan. The needs of our world are great. Please give what you can to One Great Hour of Sharing; for when we all do a little, it adds up to a lot. Thank you for generously supporting One Great Hour of Sharing, the single largest way Presbyterians come together to make a difference in the world.
