SALT LAKE CITY (ABC4) — The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints released their annual service report for 2025, and ABC4 had an exclusive look inside the hub of it all: the Bishops’ Central Storehouse.
Blaine Maxfield, managing director of the Church’s Welfare and Self-Reliance Services took ABC4’s Sarah Murphy through the Storehouse.
“I think it’s important that our belief in loving our neighbors is driving the work here. And independent of what you believe, what your background is, we know that God loves all of His children,” he said.
Maxfield explained that the love of God is the pure motivator for employees at the storehouse. He explained how people who are helped by the Storehouse tend to pass the service forward and look for ways to give back to others around them.
