- The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints has given the United Nations World Food Programme (WFP) US$32 million - the faith’s largest one-time contribution to a humanitarian organization - to help fight what the WFP calls a “seismic hunger crisis.”
The WFP will use the Church’s funds to provide food and other critical assistance to 1.6 million of the most vulnerable people - including mothers and young children - in nine countries: Afghanistan, the Democratic Republic of the Congo, Ethiopia, Haiti, Kenya, northeast Nigeria, Somalia, South Sudan and Yemen.
“This extraordinary donation from The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints could not come at a more critical time,” said WFP Executive Director David Beasley. “With millions of people starving today, WFP is working hard to deliver food, help and hope - and this life-saving contribution allows us to do just that.”
The humanitarian need around the world will only grow. I’m grateful to do my small part in donating to The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints and their various funds of tithing ,fast offerings, and humanitarian aide. When I was younger I helped individuals more. Went in their homes and showed them how to clean, organize their bills, feed their children, use a computer, organize a school report. I also gave and served food at the local homeless shelters and many other acts of service. Now my health isn’t good and I help as much as I can. So I donate to the Church who can do far more collectively than I can. So many people complain about the way things are run or that things aren’t perfect. So……What are you doing ? Put your money where your mouth is, even if it’s “ the widows mite.”
You are a good soul thank you so much and what you say is true. 😊
I do understand all what you are saying Cheri.
I hope you are doing good over there?
Love our Church and it's capacity to help!
Love seeing the church help not only directly from its own programs but working with others to help as well
God bless all those who try to help those in need, and who are suffering, both temporally, as well as spiritually! God bless those who are members of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, and those who aren't yet members, but are really striving to bless humanity, and to help the world be a better place!
This is absolutely amazing! I am grateful for The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints and friends of the faith, I love being a member and tithing!☺️
This makes me want to increase my fast offerings! There is so much need. God bless all who are helping to support charities like this and like the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints.
By their fruits ye shall know them. Grateful our contributions go to help the world.
I am all for it. I just hope that we can trust these guys with the Lords money.
Trust the prophet who trust's them.
I’m all for this, one thing tho I wish they would release how much is going towards wages of workers and how much is going towards food.
thank you for feeding those who need the help. I wish we could unite behind this.
Faith without works is death
Outstanding! What a blessing!
@ChurchNewsroom & @TheChurchofJESUSCHRISTofLaatter-daySaints Bless your hearts for all you do to as Heavenly Father & our Savior guide you to ✌😇💓 What a huge miraculous donation to help all those who need to feel thee Saviors love & Heavenly Father's love in all they are sadly faced with just to get food.
The Greatest Living Church on Earth
Thankful for this ..it shows we are One with God and Our Saviour Jesus Christ..just Beautuful💝
A Igreja de Jesus Cristo SUD sempre à frente ao cuidar dos menos favorecidos 🙏
I sometimes hear hell fire and brimstone preachers on so called "Christian" radio channels run down the Latter-day Saints. Yet I'd be willing to guess that not one penny they get goes to helping those in need. Rather to their bank accounts and don't lift a finger otherwise. Yet, the Latter-day Saint's funds go to help others in need REGARDLESS of faith. The Lord once said by their fruits ye shall know them.
Thank the Lord for the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints!
Wonderful giving at such a time of need
The work of the Lord.
I have had people DM me on IG asking for money for food in Africa. I kept telling them about the church. I know if they're truly in need if I do my part (pay tithe) God will make that money reach those people.
Well done!
Most Excellent.
Wonderful contribution! But I still believe we can do so much more as a Church to feed the poor.
The gift is fantastic. The church is true in its intentions. Can the U N be trusted to administer the funds in the manner the Lord intended?

Were these funds from tithing or fast offering contributions?
32 million dollars buys a whole lot of butter and eggs! Please focus on the very best! 🧐
Balık tutmayı öğretin . İki çuval ile fakirlere yardım olmaz. İnsan olmak karşılıksız sevgi ile doğru ve yerinde insanlara ne yapacağını nasıl yapacagini öğretmektir ve destek olmaktir
Do not your alms before men to be seen of them.
“Anonymous” talk given by Elder Monson in April 1983. Sadly, we are becoming virtue signalers and following the pattern of the world over the teachings of the Savior in our effort to be praised of the world. There is little that we do now without making a press release over it. From the church’s website I found this explanation for this exemption from following the Saviors direct admonition.
“Two New Testament scriptures seem to be somewhat in conflict regarding the issue. In the Beatitudes, Jesus taught that we should do our “alms … in secret.” Yet in another Bible scripture, Jesus tells his followers to “let your light so shine before men, that they may see your good works, and glorify your Father which is in heaven.”
Faced with the dilemma between publicizing the good works and results of its worldwide humanitarian efforts on the one hand and appearing self-promotional on the other, The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints attempts to find a balance and walk that fine line.”
There is no fine line whatsoever. The error of this reasoning is the fact that Jesus Christ is the light of the world. He let his example shine forth, he never boasted about his service and good works - he just did them. The world’s way of social justice and virtue signaling have crept into the church in this and in so many other instances as the philosophies of men are mingled with scripture. I certainly will not follow this example in my personal life but will continue to follow the example and teachings of the Savior.
