COVID-19 Offering Resources 

A global pandemic means that people are in need close to home and around the world. Disciples want to know how to help. 

Week of Compassion has been working with partners to help those in need, through responses primarily focused on food security. Read more about Week of Compassion's comprehensive COVID-19 Response. 

Through Week of Compassion, your congregation can support these local and global ministries that are meeting needs and changing lives. We invite you to "Grow Your Compassion," using these resources in whatever way works best for your context as your congregation promotes COVID-19 relief. The gifts that your church shares through this response will extend your mission capacity far beyond the church building, and even beyond your local community.
