Around 1,500 young adults from across Europe gathered in Burnley, England, on Saturday, May 30, to serve women and children in need in Lancashire, England.
The project, coordinated and funded by The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, was part of the One by One Young Single Adult Conference held May 29-31 in Manchester, England. In addition to the service project, the event included temple worship, social activities and a special meeting with Elder Clark G. Gilbert of the Quorum of the Twelve Apostles.
For the service project, young adults ages 18-35 met at Turf Moor, home of the Burnley Football Club, to prepare six-month food supplies and assemble over 1,500 hygiene kits for three local charities that help women and children, the Church’s United Kingdom newsroom recently reported.
