Presbyterian Disaster Assistance and Hunger Program

Presbyterian Disaster Assistance and Hunger Program (PDA/PHP) are two organizationally specific programs existing as part of the Compassion, Peace and Justice Ministry of the Presbyterian Church (U.S.A.). The mission is: to empower the church, in each place, to share transforming power with all people through partnership and mutuality with the worldwide body of Christ. The programs provide relief and recovery in times of disaster and promote sustainable development by identifying and addressing the root cause of suffering.PDA and PHP are ministries of the Presbyterian Church (U.S.A.) and provide impartial assistance based on need, without regard to religion, ethnicity or political affiliation. These programs do not directly receive federal funds. The core budgets come from the annual “One Great Hour of Sharing” offering taken by Presbyterian Church (U.S.A.) congregations and many other churches. Funds are also received from individuals inside and outside the church, allowing everyone to support the work we do around the world.
