ST. ROBERT, Mo. — More than 125 women recently attended a women's conference sponsored by the St. Robert Missouri Stake Relief Society.

Gathering from a region that spans more than 100 miles, the women gave service to help the Church's humanitarian relief efforts. During the conference, 100 hygiene kits were assembled with materials donated by Church members. Other sisters were able to make educational tools for children, sew dresses for young girls and create clutch balls for infants.

Some sisters also helped an organization located in Houston, Mo., "Newborns in Need."

The women reported that they were greatly inspired by the service.
