Religious Partnership in the Community

The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints recognizes the positive impact Jewish Family Services is making in the community and recently awarded a $75,000 humanitarian grant to JFS to support their mission to feed those in challenging circumstances. This donation will support expansion of their capacity to be able to provide 6,500+ meals per month (over 78,000 meals annually) to those in need.

“Members of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints consider it a divinely appointed responsibility to love and care for all of God’s children. That is the example set by Jesus Christ,” said President John Larsen, the Church’s local ecclesiastical leader. “We see the good Jewish Family Services is doing and want to partner with them in this effort. This grant will help make it possible to alleviate hunger for thousands of God’s children living in Washtenaw County,” said Larsen.
