The local program is one of many national and international programs who received funding from the PC(USA) agency. National grants totaling $690,000 are funding education, direct relief, public policy and development in diverse settings, including PC(USA) congregations and presbyteries, community farms, rural crisis centers, councils of churches and agencies that assist migrant workers.

"It is wonderful that Presbyterians are so generous in giving to the One Great Hour of Sharing Offering that enables PHP's work to alleviate hunger around the world and to support the ministries of local congregations," said Hal Johnson of Durant, Okla., chairman of the advisory committee. "I'm always impressed by the commitment and creativity of so many of the grant recipients, many of whom are doing tremendous work with limited resources."

PHP's work is funded by 36 percent of the One Great Hour of Sharing Offering, given by congregations for outreach since 1949 and collected on Easter Sunday.
