A letter from the First Presidency of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints dated October 27, 2015, states:

“It is with great concern and compassion that we observe the plight of the millions of people around the world who have fled their homes seeking relief from civil conflict and other hardships. Thanks to the generous help of our members, the Church is providing assistance to migrants and refugees in several countries.

“Many Church members have inquired how they can provide additional assistance. Members may contribute to the Church Humanitarian Fund using the Tithing and Other Offerings donations slip. We also invite Church units, families, and individuals to participate in local refugee relief projects, where practical.

“May the Lord bless you as you render Christlike service to those in need.”

President Thomas S. Monson

President Henry B. Eyring

President Dieter F. Uchtdorf
