Throughout 2025, members of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints across the Washington, D.C. metropolitan area continued a longstanding commitment to serve their communities through humanitarian outreach, volunteer service, and collaborative partnerships.

Home to more than 100,000 Latter-day Saints and several dozen congregations, the Washington, D.C. region has a vibrant community of volunteers who regularly organize and participate in initiatives designed to strengthen neighborhoods, assist those in need, and foster unity among diverse communities.

During the past year, Latter-day Saints worked alongside local charities, faith-based organizations, and civic partners to provide humanitarian aid, participate in community improvement projects, and support individuals and families facing hardship. These volunteer-driven efforts reflect the Church’s belief that service to others is a core expression of faith.

Importantly, these initiatives are inclusive and community-focused, serving individuals of all backgrounds, beliefs, and circumstances. Members frequently contribute their time and resources not only through their own congregations but also through interfaith collaboration, community service projects, and civic engagement throughout the region.

Beyond organized service efforts, many Latter-day Saints in the Washington, D.C. area actively participate in local governance, nonprofit leadership, and interfaith dialogue, helping build bridges between communities while promoting compassion, cooperation, and shared purpose.

The 2025 Year in Review highlights just a portion of the many ways volunteers across the region have worked together to uplift and support their neighbors. These efforts demonstrate the Church’s continuing mission to follow the example of Jesus Christ through service, compassion, and meaningful engagement in the communities where its members live and work.
