SALT LAKE CITY-Per a statement released by The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints Monday, the Salt Lake City-based faith is encouraging people to bring light to the world this Christmas season through simple, meaningful acts of service.
Effective November 15, lighttheworld.org presents the following suggestions:
-Volunteer opportunities through justserve.org (where available).
-The ability to donate directly to organizations that partner with Latter-day Saint Charities
-A daily calendar of 25 simple ways to serve others
-Daily texts or emails leading up to Christmas that people can opt in to receive.
More information will be forthcoming at lightheworld.org.
Because of covid-19, the annual Giving Machines (large red vending machines to help people donate to charities; circa 2017) will not be used this Christmas season.
This information was revealed by General Authority Seventy and the executive director of the Church’s Missionary Department Elder Marcus B. Nash.
