In Central America, Sister J. Anette Dennis told Relief Society women, "Our Heavenly Father expects His daughters to support, help and lift one another."

Members of the Church immediately jumped into action after the 7.8 magnitude earthquake to help neighbors and friends.

"We are happy and we thank God for what you have done," said a district governor in Kenya.

A donation by the Church provided proper healthcare training for hospitals in Zambia, saving the life of a newborn.

The Church marked a milestone in May in its efforts to donate 250 truckloads of food to food banks across the country in honor of the nation’s 250th anniversary.

In addition to providing immediate relief to those in need, the Church is also working to address root issues of hunger around the world.

“As disciples of Christ, He can show us the way to the fresh starts that are possible through Him, if we rely on Him," said Bishop L. Todd Budge of the Presiding Bishopric at the dedication Wednesday evening.

Elder Edward Dube and Sister J. Anette Dennis were among those who welcomed the organization to Church headquarters.
