The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints is providing more than $7 million to support American Red Cross blood collection and disaster response programs in the United States, with an additional $850,000 designated for relief efforts following Super Typhoon Sinlaku, according to an official Church Newsroom announcement.

The $7 million donation will expand the Red Cross's capacity to collect blood donations and respond to domestic disasters. The separate $850,000 contribution addresses immediate needs in areas affected by Super Typhoon Sinlaku.

The donation represents one of the Church's larger single contributions to the Red Cross in recent years.
