...to humanitarian service!
When the Relief Society was formally organized, the Prophet Joseph Smith told the sisters that they must look "... to the wants of the poor - searching after objects of charity, and in administering to their wants..."
"Through Relief Society, women have an official role in the Church with great responsibilities. One of these responsibilities is to take care of the necessities of the poor, the sick and the needy."
(Julie Beck)
