OXFORD, United Kingdom-Thursday, Sharon Eubank, the president of Latter-day Saint Charities, participated in a webinar with other global religious leaders.

This panel discussion was hosted by the European Union office of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, located at Oxford, United Kingdom.

Sister Eubank, the first counselor in the Relief Society General Presidency, discussed the success of the Project Protect initiative in Utah, which involved people of many faiths sewing masks for healthcare workers.

Project Protect is one of about 600 projects Salt Lake City-based Latter-day Saint Charities has responded to during this pandemic.
