The First Presidency of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints toured the Church’s new Humanitarian Center in Salt Lake City on Friday, May 22, 2026, five days ahead of the facility’s dedication.
The Humanitarian Center, located at 1999 West 1700 South in Salt Lake City, is a key part of the Church’s mission to follow Jesus Christ’s second great commandment: “Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself.”
The new center provides job training, language courses and employment counseling for people working to overcome barriers to employment. It also prepares and distributes humanitarian supplies for those in need worldwide. Established in 1991, the Humanitarian Center has long served this dual purpose of fostering self-reliance and caring for those in need.
The new 250,000-square-foot facility, located across the street from the previous site, is designed to improve efficiency and strengthen collaboration. It includes space for job training classrooms, donation processing and large-scale preparation of humanitarian supplies, enhancing the Church’s ability to serve those in need.
