The Women’s organization of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (Mormon Church) is called the Relief Society. Charity work is central to the organization, which is over 5 million strong. Women meet together every Sunday as part of the typical sabbath block of meetings to learn about the Savior and principles of the gospel. Four times each year, a ward (like a parish) will have an evening meeting for an enriching activity, and often these meetings are oriented towards performing humanitarian aid projects. The North Mapleton Utah 8th Ward often sponsors welfare projects, and one was held on June 10, 2009 at the North Mapleton Stake Center in the cultural hall. An area was designated for the assembling of quilts to be sent to disaster areas. Tables were moved together end to end to create an assembly line to put together hygiene kits for disaster relief. Refreshments were served, and the ladies enjoyed the cameraderie associated with such an events. Such meetings and projects are ongoing in the Church on ward, stake, and all-church levels.
