Other Charities
Other good charities include the BYUI Annual Fund, BYU Scholarships, United Way, Boy Scouts of America, and Habitat for Humanity. This list is not all inclusive, but it is a good start.
Elder Robert D. Hales of the Twelve stated the following:
You have received much in your life; go forth and freely give in the service of our Lord and Savior. Have faith; the Lord knows where you are needed. The need is so great, brothers and sisters, and the laborers are so few. (Couple Missionaries: A Time to Serve,” Ensign, May 2001, 27)
Elder Vaughn J. Featherstone made the following statement:
My beloved young friends, determine to serve one another. Listen to the spirit when your flesh is weak. For truly the Master said, “Inasmuch as ye have done it unto one of the least of these my brethren, ye have done it unto me” (Matt 25:40). The blessings are tenfold when we do those good, kindly acts of Christian service when it is inopportune or not convenient. ( “True Christlike Service Is Seldom Convenient,” Tambuli, Aug. 1984, 34)
