New Name for Latter-Day Saint Charities

I want to share some important news regarding Latter-Day Saint Charities name change.

As some of you may recall, in 2018, President Nelson shared prophetic direction regarding the importance of using the full name of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. As part of this effort, the Welfare and Self-Reliance Service Department has now officially transitioned from using "Latter-Day Saint Charities" to "Caring for Those in Need."


This new name will now be the official representation of our efforts to care for those in need around the world.

As members of the Church showing love to others is a fundamental part of our beliefs.

President Nelson taught, "Two great commandments can guide us; first, to love God and, second, to love our neighbor. We show our love by serving."

By caring for those in need we are living that second great commandment to become true disciples of Jesus Christ.

To help facilitate this transition, the website has been updated to 

https://www.churchofjesuschrist.org/serve/caring-for-those-in-need?lang=eng&cid=rdb_v_caring 

This inspired change will help increase the recognition of our Savior and His Church around the world.
