Responding to Pakistan flooding

Three men look out to a flooded area of land

Despite major issues of accessibility and further flooding in Pakistan, Presbyterian Disaster Assistance, in cooperation with our ecumenical partners, is providing much needed food and emergency shelter to families left homeless and impacted by this crisis. You can stand in the gap for disaster survivors and help the church in this response. Give, Act, Pray.

PDA Alternative Giving Opportunities for 2010

Cover of brochureDisasters, whether natural or human-caused, can devastate communities. In most cases homes, businesses and infrastructure are destroyed or damaged. Many lives are lost, and many more are disrupted.

Assistance from Presbyterians helps provide for basic humanitarian needs.  Food, water, medicine, shelter, and other critical supplies bring hope to a struggling community.

Over the years, many individuals and congregations have requested projects for alternative giving and/or other special giving opportunities to help disaster survivors.

The 2010 brochure explains how each gift is an example of what a gift through PDA can accomplish. Although specific amounts are listed, any amount is welcomed.

Complimentary copies of the brochure and other materials will be provided for those who order materials by September 10.  After this date, some of the materials will be available for congregations to print as needed.

Materials available this year will include a brochure, gift cards, bookmarks, pew envelopes, and a poster.  Gifts can be designated for International Disasters and Emergencies, PDA General Relief, and U.S.A. Disasters and Emergencies.
