Church Continues to Provide Relief in Japan

Following the devastating 9.0-magnitude earthquake that struck Japan on March 11, 2011, the Church continues to provide supplies and relief throughout the country.

More than 150 tons of supplies from Church relief efforts have been distributed: food, water, blankets, bedding, hygiene kits, clothing, and fuel. More than 7,000 Church members have donated more than 60,000 work hours to relief efforts.
