Presbyterian Disaster Assistance

Presbyterian Disaster Assistance PDA is the PC(USA)'s disaster response and refugee program. PDA does not receive any federal funds.

PDA is funded by gifts to the church’s One Great Hour of Sharing offering and designated gifts, we annually respond to at least 20 U.S disasters and 30 international disasters. PDA is a member of ACT Alliance, Interaction, and National Voluntary Organizations Active in Disasters (NVOAD). We adhere to the International Red Cross Code of Conduct, and do not discriminate based on ethnicity, religion

or political opinion; we do not seek to promote any particular religious or political viewpoints. PDA works nationally through its local judicatories (presbyteries and synods). A specialized volunteer disaster team provides consultation and assistance as these regional offices design the local response and build relationships within their bounds. Internationally, PDA works through local partners, including Presbyterian and Reformed partner churches, ecumenical partners, and other faith-based or non-governmental indigenous organizations.

We are grateful to share that in addition to supporting partners in the Philippines, we are also supporting partners in Indonesia that were impacted by this earthquake. Please join us in continued prayers as they address immediate needs.

Through PDA, the PC(USA) is supporting our partners in the Philippines as they respond to the needs following the 7.8 magnitude earthquake that struck Sarangani Province and neighboring areas in Southeastern Mindanao the morning of June 8th; communities are still experiencing aftershocks. Thousands of families have been affected and are currently facing urgent humanitarian needs. A solidarity grant is supporting emergency relief efforts to provide food assistance, drinking water, hygiene supplies, temporary shelter materials, psychosocial support, and other essential services to the most vulnerable families.

PDA was able to provide funding for Forum for Development Culture and Dialogue - FDCD to work with partners to offer essentials, such as ready-to-eat meals, basic medical assistance and other support for people in emergency shelters. Grant funds also were requested for psychosocial support for affected children and parents and for “social cohesion” activities.
"Their ability to continue to do the work to which they have been called is a sign of hope, and … the honor of being able to accompany them in whatever way is a real gift to the PC(USA).”
