Because of advance preparation, the Church generally is ready on short notice to send humanitarian relief to the far corners of the world or close by as emergencies occur.

One of the most helpful things members can do to help those in need is to contribute a generous fast offering through their wards and branches.

Members who wish to do more may donate to the Church's humanitarian aid fund by checking "Humanitarian" on the Tithing and Other Offerings form. These humanitarian donations are not used by wards but are forwarded to Church headquarters as part of the Church's humanitarian aid fund.
