Beehive State Lights who are lighting our way — join us every WE CARE DAY, monthly on the 25th. One day and one act of kindness shared among all of us — of all faiths and no faith. Do it because kindness feels good — and service to others increases your thankfulness and gratitude toward God. It is a good thing.
These organizations are quietly doing the work of Matthew 25:40 in Utah — feeding the hungry, sheltering the stranger, lifting the fallen — and the important work of assisting those oppressed by life. It is a beautiful thing, responding to those in need as we are all commanded. They serve their neighbors. These are not just examples to follow — they would welcome your time and support of their mission.
Utah — Lights shining across the Beehive State
A Christian rescue mission in Salt Lake City. Daily meals, emergency shelter, addiction recovery, and job training for people in crisis. Scripture-rooted and neighbor-focused — serving the most vulnerable in the shadow of the mountains.
The oldest and largest social services network in Utah. Statewide. Refugee resettlement, family services, food and shelter, immigration assistance. They serve everyone regardless of faith or background — the Catholic mission to the poor, at scale.
Community ministry in the heart of Salt Lake City. Food pantry and outreach to the city's most vulnerable. A Baptist congregation doing the work — one of the few evangelical churches in a heavily LDS city that has stayed focused on Matthew 25:40.
Feeding America Utah. Statewide hunger relief — distributing millions of pounds of food every year across Utah's urban centers and rural communities alike. The supply chain behind every local food ministry in the state.
Last, but certainly not least. Matthew 25:40 is very important to this worldwide church and they have a long standing local and international presence helping people in need and in disasters. The Humanitarian Center in Salt Lake City is one of the largest faith-based relief operations in the world. Just takes a call to see if they can help.
The 25th of every month is WE CARE DAY.
One day and one act of kindness shared among all of us — of all faiths and no faith. Do it because kindness feels good — and service to others increases your thankfulness and gratitude toward God. It is a good thing.
Share your WE CARE DAY story — the one that made you both feel good about doing it. Every little kindness helps. A compliment goes a long way. Jesus says don't tell anyone of your kindness, but we need your example so you only get to use your last name initial so you don't have to compromise your faith. Tell us — what made you feel good helping someone? Your story lights the way for others.
