The LDS Church donated $100,000 to the Avenues Children's Justice Center after nearly a dozen church leaders toured the Salt Lake City home on Tuesday.
Sister Rosemary M. Wixom, the church's Primary general president, presented the check to the center, which provides a child-friendly atmosphere for children as investigators interview them regarding alleged abuse. The center also provides referrals for support services for both children and their parents or guardians.
"Yesterday I knew next to nothing about this facility," Sister Wixom said. "Today I have a passion for it."
