Empowering Change: The Church's Impact at Agape

Last month, we had the privilege of returning to Agape, a soup kitchen and homeless shelter in the Baltic city of Liepaja, Latvia. As we walked through its doors, the transformative impact of recent donations unfolded before us like a story of compassion. The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints made a thoughtful contribution to replace the worn-out, lumpy mattresses with brand new ones, breathing new life into the shelter. These discarded beds, now with a second chance, found a new home at another location, creating a ripple of goodwill.

Adding to this wave of generosity, The Church also extended a helping hand with the donation of large skillets and large cooking pots complete with lids, enhancing the kitchen facilities and time saving methods in the kitchen.

The heartfelt appreciation rippled throughout the organization and additional gratitude expressed by the residents at the homeless shelter. Their appreciation has expressed improved sleep quality, thanks to the new mattresses, resulting in fewer neck and shoulder pains.

The Church's collaboration and support have not only made a difference but have fostered a profound positive change in the lives of those at Agape.
