Mormon Welfare Program

  • There may be other charities that are larger or more helpful, but the welfare tradition within the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints must be one of the world’s best. As correspondent Lucky Severson reports from Salt Lake City, the program supplies food, clothes, and all kinds of care to those in need-Mormon or not. The relief is always free, and the men and women who do the work-growers, packers, distributors, and caregivers-are all volunteers.

    I grew up picking grapes, with thousands of other members of the church, at the Church welfare farm in Fresno California. We laid them out to become raisins. We also went to the vineyard to prune it. As a kid I didn't always look forward to it, but as I got older I understood the importance of it. Great memories.

      We worked the pasta plants in Utah. Other stakes had different assignments. It was fun, but it's misleading when they make it sound like they make all this stuff for anyone in need. No! It's for church members only!!! Their program is for members only.

    The LDS Welfare system is absolutely incredible. The ability of those in need to get food, clothing, help finding a job, and even monetary aid from the Church is absolutely beautiful. It is the most humane and humanizing aid service I have ever seen. I know because I have been a beneficiary of it. I have helped others, Mormon and non-Mormon, benefit form it. It is wonderful.

    Not sure what this dude is on, but what he describes about what the 'Mormon' church does is so totally incorrect and untrue. think he really needs a lot of help, and not just with finding work or providing food to fill his belly. So sad. May our small individual offerings on fast Sunday, collectively add up to provide some needy and grateful people with sufficient to sustain them until they are back on their feet. I am grateful for what the church does to help me and those around me become self sufficient and with that ability to help myself, puts me in a better position to help others.

      if you were to make reading the New Testament a daily habit you're beliefs will unravel you will realise everything the LDS Chuch has been built on is totally false temples modern day prophets , priesthood has already been fulfilled in the Lord Jesus Christ

      @@jayhawk88z Sadly, that is not a factual statement. The only ones who believe that have no real clues as to that they actually believe. Most of what those who tell others they know what they really believe have changed their actual beliefs, distorted them or outright lies about them. Try asking actual members who know what they actually believe. Also, it would help to read the New Testament, along with the Old Testament with an open mind and actually compare scriptures with the same type and you would be surprised at the difference that would make, especially when those who spread untruths about the church take many of them out of context, etc.

      They use the money well though most of the time and don't take on any debt.
      I've helped and been helped. If it wasn't for the church I would have been starving on the streets in the past. And they build such beautiful temples to bring peace into my life and those of my ancestors. It's a selfless work.
