The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints has donated money for health and child nutrition, provided supplies to schools and hospitals, and given funds after natural disasters. See some of the examples.

I smile at the drummer to my right and nod to the singers on my left. I then pluck the first note from my Fender Jazz Bass and the mid-May, 10 a.m. service begins at my church. Prior to that musical cue on this spring Sunday, I observed worshippers entering through the heavy wood doors at the back of the church, adults greeting one another as they mingle and frantically exchange family stories, and children just out of the eye and ear shots of their parents laugh, play, and if they are fast enough, sneak a piece of hard candy on the table beside the programs and the guest book. However, at the sound of the first note, the purpose of the moment takes hold.
