Donations for Humanitarian Aid During a Natural Disaster
When disasters happen, like the recent tornados in Oklahoma, many people inquire how they might assist or donate to the Church’s relief efforts. The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints uses donations to the Humanitarian Aid Fund on an "as-needed" basis to purchase and deliver aid during times of crisis or whenever humanitarian assistance is needed. Unless specifically indicated, funds are not earmarked for any particular disaster or region. Supplies are distributed without regard to race, creed, or religion and 100 percent of all donations are used to help the people in need. Full Story
