October 3, 2026 at 1:03 PM MT · via KSNV · Summarized by Mormon News from original reporting

The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints donated more than $7 million to the American Red Cross to strengthen blood services and support disaster relief, according to KSNV's reporting. The contribution funds blood collection infrastructure and emergency response capacity.
The donation is part of the Church's humanitarian partnership strategy with established relief organizations. Church humanitarian efforts increasingly channel funds through groups like the Red Cross rather than building independent Church-branded aid programs.
The Red Cross will use the funds to expand blood services and deploy disaster relief supplies, according to the announcement reported by the Las Vegas television station.
