Time for you to diss the church and its efforts, I Have A Quibble/Quarrel...as you did on another thread.
Shipments arrived in Houston beginning on Thursday, Feb. 25. Food deliveries ran through Monday, when church volunteers joined with other interfaith partners in Houston to get the much-needed food to those in need.
“It’s like reading our minds,” said Les Cave, CEO of Northwest Assistance Ministries in Houston. “We’re running out of basic items, and now here you are with what we need.”
Cave continued, “When congregations respond as you are responding, the items go directly into the cars of people who are out of a job now or have had a bad turn of luck. People are suffering right now out of no fault of their own, so local people get behind the relief efforts of those who are struggling.”
In other words, we don't have the money to help you with your water problems. I'm afraid that what money we have needs to go to the white and delightsome people in Oklahoma and other whiter places in the Lord's vineyard. The 120 billion is NOT for the negros! Sorry. You'll have to pray to Jesus that some other church can help you. But we Mormons aren't forking over our money.Elder Neil L. Andersen wrote:
We want to help in every way we can. We are not a wealthy people but we are good people, and we share what we have.

To be fair, the organization that you’ve linked to above likely isn’t a Church with a stated mission to “help care for the poor and needy”.mentalgymnast wrote: ↑Thu Mar 04, 2021 10:34 pmHow often and where does your:

Fair enough. Nonetheless, I’d be interested in knowing whether the secularists here that complain about how the church laser focuses its contributions to those in need have the same view towards other religious institutions that also step up in times of need.canpakes wrote: ↑Fri Mar 05, 2021 12:36 amTo be fair, the organization that you’ve linked to above likely isn’t a Church with a stated mission to “help care for the poor and needy”.mentalgymnast wrote: ↑Thu Mar 04, 2021 10:34 pmHow often and where does your:

IKR? Her efforts are amazing. Overall, she donated over 4 billion this year, If I recall correctly. That’s a person who has truly decided to do some serious good with her money.canpakes wrote: ↑Fri Mar 05, 2021 12:36 am
....Meanwhile, check out what some of those other crazy secular-ish organizations are also doing in Texas:

MacKenzie Scott, all by her self, tossed 18 million dollars into the pot, and she’s only worth half as much as what the Church has stashed away with Ensign Peak Advisors. That’s pretty good.
