our stake public affairs person reported that when she approached the city of Dallas about service projects, she was basically told that our church was unreliable and had the worst reputation as far as major religions in the Dallas area as to meaningful, reliable contribution to the community. Ouch.
Our ward, other than participating in one multi-stake service project (Habitat for Humanity) for half a day, has not had a single service project. And I don't think we will for the rest of the year.
So whatever it is that LDS humanitarian services does, I feel pretty far removed from it, even if some of it is my financial contribution.
