“What Are Fast Offerings?” Friend, Jan. 2016, 31
What Are Fast Offerings?
A “fast offering” is money we give to help others when we fast. We are asked to give as much money as we would have spent on the meals we skipped while fasting.
How to Give a Fast Offering
-
Decide how much money you would like to give.
-
Put your fast offering in a tithing envelope, and fill out the form.
-
Give your fast offering to your bishop or branch president.
Who could your fast offering help?
Someone who lost a job
Someone who is too sick to work
Families who lost their homes in a bad storm or earthquake
Many others close to your home and around the world who need help
