Questions & Answers

Is there a place to serve

Diane Sonntag | Sep 20, 2020
Karen Duvall | Sep 20, 2020

I'd assume if you live in the area, your stake/ward could get Cannery or Bishops Storehouse assignments. Other than that, they have a Deseret Industries store and drop.

You can purchase certain foods that they have a surplus of. I would call ahead to see if the items you would like are available for purchase.

I have always wanted to tour welfare square. My husband and I and our oldest Granddaughter (who goes on a mission in January) will be in Salt Lake on the 23rd and 24th of August. Would it be possible to have a tour?

Can they help with vouchers to get into an apartment?

Aubrey Allred | Sep 21, 2019
Saunsiaray Broussard | Sep 20, 2021

No the church doesn't give out vouchers for apartments. You need to get a hold of Salt Lake City or County housing authority. If you're homeless you need to go to 4th street Clinic so the Volunteers of America can help you.
