Church Sends Aid to Ethiopia

The Church has contributed funds to relief efforts designed to aid starving Ethiopians.

Glenn L. Pace, managing director of the Welfare Services Department, explained that the funds came from fast offering contributions.

“At the direction of the First Presidency and the Presiding Bishopric, we are contributing through an international relief agency with the stipulation that the money be used to buy food for those people in Ethiopia who have the greatest need, and/or for use in transporting available food to them.”

Church members who have a desire to participate in this relief effort are encouraged to maintain or, if possible, increase their fast offerings.
