East Vincent supports different mission projects, supporting those in need in our community, and in communities around the world, including: Bethany Children’s Home, Project Outreach/Food Pantry, PACS, Phoebe Homes & St. Mary’s Shelter.
ONE GREAT HOUR OF SHARING
The purpose of One Great Hour of Sharing has remained the same: to collect special gifts to assist those in need. Today, projects are underway in more than 100 countries, including the United States and Canada. From the 1990s to the early 2000s, receipts have exceeded $20 million annually. While specific allocations differ, most use their One Great Hour of Sharing funds to make possible disaster relief, refugee assistance, and development aid.
Contributions to One Great Hour of Sharing make a difference in the lives of real people. Leaders of impacted communities identify the needs of their people. Priorities for short, medium and long-term solutions are then made for the purpose of improving the quality of life for individuals and the communities. Around the world, One Great Hour of Sharing continues to respond to needs equally critical as when it was first created. Please give generously when we receive this special mission offering.
