Latter-Day Saints Helping Around The World Monday, May 24, 2021 Members of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, including those in the greater Chattanooga area, are helping to alleviate suffering at home and abroad.
Most recently, the Church has sent medical supplies and oxygen to hospitals throughout Brazil and “enough food to feed about one million Brazilians,” officials said. In meetings with Governor Eduardo Leite of Rio Grande do Sul and Mayor Bruno Reis of Salvador, the capital of Brazil’s state of Bahia, each expressed thanks for Church efforts. Governor Leite said, “I know that the first role of the Church is to relieve sad hearts, to carry a message of hope and faith. I respect and admire your Church.”
