Australian Mormons Donate Four Tons of Food to Needy Families
“Despite the economic boom, there are many families in need,” Genevieve de Souza, Western Australian president of the St Vincent de Paul Society said at the hand-over ceremony. “Charitable organizations have to turn needy people away for the lack of food donations.”
“The central aim of our involvement is to make families stronger,” said senior Latter-day Saint leader Peter Meurs. “That involves families giving and families receiving.”
Description
Members of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints in Perth, Australia, donated over four tons of food last month for distribution to families in need.
