One Great Hour of Sharing - Overview

Home > Connectional Giving Programs > Special Sundays > One Great Hour of Sharing > Overview


Necessities of life include food, shelter and clothing. However, many people around the world lack these basic necessities. The One Great Hour of Sharing offering makes those necessities a reality by sharing the goodness of life with those who hurt.

When a catastrophe occurs, your offerings to One Great of Sharing enables the United Methodist Committee on Relief (UMCOR) to reach out and ease the pain and suffering by providing humanitarian aid of food, shelter, health and peace.

By giving to One Great Hour of Sharing, you enable UMCOR to keep the promise that 100 percent of designated gifts go to the specific causes. Unlike other mission programs, UMCOR receives no World Service or other apportionment money. This is why your faithful support of the One Great Hour of Sharing offering is crucial.

You can continue to share God’s love with those in need by giving online to One Great Hour of Sharing. God calls us to be the hands, heart and hope of the church for people who are suffering. Through the One Great Hour of Sharing, we enable the church to answer that call.
