About Humanitarian Services
The Church's annual report for the year 2022 regarding its efforts to support those in need demonstrates that the faith's initiatives to assist those facing difficulties encompassed a sum exceeding $1 billion in expenses, over 6.3 million hours of volunteered time, and the execution of 3,692 humanitarian projects spanning 190 countries and territories.
The acts of compassion undertaken by The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints alleviate pain and suffering, nurture self-sufficiency, and create avenues for individuals to engage in service. The Church follows the admonition of Jesus Christ "to feed the hungry, give drink to the thirsty, take in the stranger, clothe the naked and visit the sick and afflicted."
This outreach towards humanitarian aid is made feasible through the kindhearted contributions and voluntary efforts of Latter-day Saints and individuals supportive of the faith. The Church extends its assistance without discrimination based on race, religious beliefs, or nationality. Support is administered in alignment with fundamental principles such as personal accountability, communal backing, self-reliance, and lasting sustainability.
