Dear Friend,
Right after tornadoes tore through the midwest this past November, the generosity of people who support One Great Hour of Sharing went to work.
Volunteers
from the Presbyterian Disaster Assistance (PDA) National Response Team
were sent to help. They provided requested support to the leadership of
the Presbytery of Great Rivers to help organize and lead volunteers from
local congregations to provide support for families whose homes had flooded. Presbytery volunteers also provided a Thanksgiving dinner for the affected community.
When you see someone in a blue PDA shirt this Sunday,
you’ll know they’re a volunteer who has given their time to help
someone in need after a crisis or disaster. Remember, as these
volunteers carry out God’s work, an equally devout and compassionate person has supported One Great Hour of Sharing—and is behind them.
That person can be you.
When you support our faithful volunteer efforts, you help support programs like Presbyterian Disaster Assistance. You help ensure our sisters and brothers receive support following a disaster. And you help people rebuild their lives long after the media has moved on.
