Keep Hope Alive Campaign 2024

Keep Hope Alive Campaign 2024

Keep Hope Alive for Palestinian partners this October 21-25, 2024 by joining in on advocacy opportunities, supporting partners responding to the recent escalation in violence, and accompanying partners into a future of peace with justice for all who live in the region.

The Disciples and UCC have appealed for support of our partners in the Middle East, as they respond to the needs of their communities during this current crisis. Please consider supporting their continued witness among the most vulnerable. You can read more about our responses (including advocacy opportunities) to the current crisis on our webpage.
