Church World Service Tools of Hope

Program. This program makes a difference in the lives of children and families world over. This program provides: emergency shelter items in the wake of disaster; tools for refugees returning home to rebuild and seeds to replant fields; families living in drought-plagued areas are helped to dig wells for clean, safe drinking water, and for water to irrigate crops and gardens.

Give in Proportion

Proportionate participation in the work of God involves much more than money. Whatever God has given you, in whatever measure, is to be dedicated to him. Your talents, your abilities, your material wealth, your time – all are resources from which you can give.
